Executive summary

The market has material policy and charging progress, but a standalone centre is not justified without an audited serviceable parc.

Methodology

Source facts and EVS assumptions remain distinct.

Methodology

Step	Method	Detail
1	Freeze geography and definitions	Passenger/LCV BEV/PHEV active status; do not mix light/all registrations, HEVs, motorcycles, stations, connectors or targets.
2	Prioritize primary sources	Government, BOE, regulator, statistics, project closeout and official dealer evidence.
3	Triangulate and label	Reconcile conflicting denominators and the ~200 station-ratio proxy versus 409 financed vehicles; distinguish stock, flow, targets and EVS assumptions.
4	Size only what evidence supports	Current TAM null; directional stock proxy; executable SOM zero.
5	Model reversible economics	Nominal CVE, VAT-exclusive, pre-tax; no grant, FX or financing benefit.
6	Convert uncertainty to gates	Paid demand, capability, compliance, site and continuation thresholds.
