“It’s disappointing that it’s not going to proceed,” Stuart Masson from automotive website The Car Expert told BBC News.
“The good news that we are seeing in the industry is that the overall rollout of electric charging points is accelerating faster than had been predicted a couple of years ago,” he added.
However, he said that most of the charging points are in busier areas rather than on streets nearer to people’s homes, meaning BT’s decision was still a setback.
Mr Masson welcomed its pledge to improve wi-fi infrastructure around EV charging points.
“It’s very frustrating when you turn up to a charging point, you go to log into the app… and you can’t get a connection because you’re buried in a multi-storey car park somewhere and there’s no signal,” he said.
“If BT can make a dent in that then that would be really good.”
