EV charging, counted
Charging is only useful if it is fast enough to be worth stopping for and priced so you know what you are agreeing to. Both are counted here, for both countries.

About these numbers
Sites come from Open Charge Map, requesting openly-licensed records only. A site is one location, not one plug, a forecourt with six stalls counts once.
Power is the highest-rated connector at the site, so a location offering both a 22 kW and a 150 kW plug is counted as ultra-rapid. That is the honest way round: it is what you can get there, not what you are guaranteed if the fast one is occupied.
Cost is free text in the source, not a structured tariff, so it is reported as three buckets and a sample of the tariffs exactly as published. We do not parse a rate out of it, a price inferred from a sentence is a price we would be inventing.
