Story details
ScottishPower said on 1 October that enquiries for its dedicated electric-vehicle offers had risen by around 630% compared with the same time a year earlier. It also reported that uptake of its EV Optimise charging service was 430% higher over that comparison.
The company presented the figures as activity across its own offers. Enquiries count customer interest, while uptake refers to adoption of the named charging service; neither measure is a count of vehicle sales or registrations.
The release relates the changes to its customer services but does not provide a detailed base count in the headline figures. The reported percentages should therefore be attributed to ScottishPower and read within that company-specific context.
This article uses the company’s enquiry and service-uptake figures only. They do not establish a market-wide change in electric-vehicle demand or quantify cost savings for drivers.
