Overview

  • Zoopla and Vauxhall have added filters on Zoopla’s website and app that let buyers and renters search exclusively for properties with installed home EV chargers and map the distance to the nearest public charging station.
  • Octopus Electroverse mapping data powers the feature, providing accurate locations for on-street and home charging points alongside property listings.
  • Vauxhall’s poll of 2,000 motorists shows 40% of UK drivers will factor in charging proximity when moving house, rising to 84% among current EV owners.
  • Zoopla’s analysis found that just 1.6% of its property listings mentioned EV charging availability in 2025, highlighting a gap between demand and disclosure.
  • Industry figures report 1.55 million fully electric cars on UK roads, with EV registrations up 34% year-on-year and one in four new car buyers choosing electric.
