• The EV charging industry will contribute £15.5 billion (US$ 20.7 billion) to the UK economy by 2035, but continued growth will depend on supportive legislation. EV Infrastructure News
• Capital investment in EV charging is forecast to hit £8.4 billion over the next decade. EV Infrastructure News
• Falling costs, greater renewables penetration, co-location mandates, auctions, and emerging applications, such as data centers and electric vehicle charging, are all poised to lift annual storage additions beyond 300 gigawatts by 2036. BloombergNEF
• High-voltage EV wiring harness is the highest-growth sub-segment at approximately 7.1% CAGR through 2034, driven by the transition to 800 V EV platforms and the proliferation of DC fast charging infrastructure requiring vehicle-side ultra-high-current connectors. IMARC Group
• Beijing has doubled its EV charging capacity target to 180 gigawatts by 2027 and made energy storage attachment mandatory for new renewable installations - creating a policy-guaranteed demand floor that operates independently of consumer EV adoption rates. A Whisky with Charles
• A massive $1.5 billion investment through the Canada Infrastructure Bank will go toward expanding the national EV charging network. Immigration News Canada
• What used to be a niche choice is now the smart money choice - especially in 2026, when EV technology, charging availability, and salary sacrifice benefits are all aligning to make going electric more affordable than ever. The Electric Car Scheme
• By 2030, total grid emissions of CO2, N2O, and CH4 from EV battery charging in the United States are projected to decline by 52.67%, 65.71%, and 53.65%, respectively, compared to 2025 under the mid-case scenario, despite an overall increase of 152.57% in EV electricity demand. Nature
• Europe's electric vehicle industry has already committed more than €200 billion (£171 billion) to factories, batteries and charging infrastructure, even as politicians debate weakening the EU's 2035 petrol and diesel car ban. ""
