Electric Streets of Britain
Vauxhall published new research showing that more than 90% of UK councils have public EV charging, while half still lack on-street access. The data supports its Electric Streets of Britain campaign, which lets drivers register streets needing chargers and shares that demand with infrastructure partners.
Why it worked: They paired proprietary, council-by-council data with a simple gap stat (90% vs. half lacking on-street) that reframed progress as failure-to-serve millions without driveways.
The lesson: Consider publishing a ranked, named gap analysis in your space, then route reader demand to partners via a public sign-up map.
