UK Growth in Public Charging Devices

Since 2015, the number of public charging devices across the UK has grown by around 44% per year on average. Rapid-charging devices have increased even faster — with an annual growth rate of approximately 67%. (Source: GOV.UK)

Plan Electric Vehicle Charging Points with OS MasterMap® CAD Data

Our CAD Product (supplied in DWG or DXF) based on the  OS MasterMap Topography Layer® is ideal for EV Charging Point Planning.

  • The mapping offers the most detailed, complete and current view of Great Britain’s landscape.
  • Calibrated in metres — easy to measure directly in CAD for layout design.
  • Perfect for wiring diagrams or estimating cable lengths between chargers and infrastructure.
  • The same dataset can support Local Authority planning applications.
  • Reusable for Utility Company submissions and documentation.

Use one consistent, licensed dataset from survey through to installation planning — ensuring accuracy, compliance and efficiency for every EV infrastructure project.

Frequently Asked Questions — EV Charge-Point Mapping

1) What mapping data do I need for planning electric vehicle (EV) charge points?

For accurate EV charge-point planning, you’ll typically need detailed Ordnance Survey base data such as the OS MasterMap Topography Layer®. It provides precise building outlines, road edges, kerb lines and property boundaries, so you can design charger locations, access and cable routes with confidence.

2) Can I use Ordnance Survey CAD mapping for local-authority planning applications?

Yes. OS MasterMap CAD (DWG/DXF) from UK Map Centre is council and utility compliant and suitable for infrastructure and EV charge-point submissions. We supply calibrated, layered files that align to OSGB36 (British National Grid), making them straightforward to use in AutoCAD, MicroStation and similar design platforms.

3) What file formats are available for charge-point planning maps?

For CAD design we supply DWG and DXF (drop straight into AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Vectorworks, etc.). For documentation and reports we can provide PDF, TIFF or JPG. If you’re working in GIS, we can also deliver GeoTIFF, SHP or GeoPackage (GPKG).

4) How does OS mapping help with EV infrastructure design?

High-accuracy OS data lets you measure in metres, check clearances, and plan cable runs and trench routes precisely. With OS MasterMap Topography you can identify kerb lines, pavements, verges, building edges and plot realistic equipment footprints. Add OS Terrain 5 (DTM/contours) to model levels, gradients and cut-and-fill around plinths and feeder pillars.

5) How quickly can I get mapping data for a charge-point project?

Digital orders are typically delivered by email within ~20 minutes (7 am–11 pm, 7 days a week). Larger or bespoke AOIs can also be supplied quickly — ideal for consultants, contractors and local-authority teams working to tight deadlines.
