Where would you like to see more charge points?
We are looking for potential new locations for public charge points, particularly to support those residents that have to park on-street. If you own or are thinking of buying an electric vehicle (EV) and would like to suggest a location for a new charge point - please complete our charge point suggestion form.
Our electric vehicle charge points
Council car parks currently contain a combination of 7kW and 50kW chargers. The 7kW chargers are run by WENEA and the 50kW chargers are run by SWARCO.
You can get a free 30-minute parking ticket to display in your electric or hybrid vehicle at council-owned, off-street car parks, while you plug in and charge. Electricity at all charge points in council car parks is subject to a fee.
The charge points are part of the national network.
