ChargeUK reckons the charging sector could deliver £15.5 billion in direct economic value by 2035, part of a wider £385 billion contribution from transport electrification, with charging alone supporting 35,700 direct jobs. The number that should actually concern fleet planners sits further down the report: weaken the ZEV Mandate and charge point operator investment over the next five years could roughly halve. That is the trade-off nobody running a charging rollout wants - policy wobble now shows up later as fewer chargers, longer queues and shakier residuals on your electric vans. Watch mandate signals as closely as grant tables. (ChargeUK)
