Across the recorded period, electric vehicle charger installations in workplaces in the United Kingdom as part of the Workplace Charging Scheme peaked in March 2022. Provisional estimates for September 2024 were not as positive, as the scheme recorded one of the lowest installation volumes that month, second only to April 2020, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The month refers to when Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) sockets were installed, not the date of payment.
The source specifies that: "Data is taken from a database held by the DVLA which records grant applications for administrative purposes. Grants can take several months to process and the most recent quarters are most likely to be undercounted, especially the second quarter of 2024. The statistics should therefore be treated as provisional."
