The government has missed its own targets for electric car chargers at motorway service stations, according to analysis by the RAC, which was published on Tuesday.

Four motorway service areas—two at Leicester Forest on the M1, Tebay South on the M6 and Barton Park on the A1(M)—have no charging facilities at all.
