People keep talking about the number of chargers, but I keep talking about the amount of power that is available to actually turn those chargers on.'
It comes after 24 Gridserve and 24 Tesla chargers at Medway services in Kent were supposed to be operational in May, but the power will not be turned on until December.
Meanwhile projects have been postponed at Birch, near Rochdale, and at Lancaster services due to deadline for preparation work being missed.
Near Exeter Moto wanted a service station to have 56 chargers for this weekend but has ended up with 33.
Mr McMeikan said: 'If you think about the amount of fuel we supply through petrol forecourts that we are replacing with electricity, I genuinely don't think that the grid and the regional operators have really understood how much electricity is required and how quickly.'
The charging points are in seriously high demand - with 400,000 EV drivers set to be travelling around Britain this weekend alone
In a bid to help the issue Mr McMeikan now hopes to develop solar farms on land adjoining twelve motorway service stations, in locations such as Reading and Wetherby.
A spokesperson for UK Power Networks told The Sunday Times: 'In order to complete the works a number of consents are required, and we are working with the relevant statutory authorities and other parties to ensure the works are completed as soon as possible.'
