How to use a charging point
If you use an Electric Vehicle Charging Point (EVCP) in one of our car parks, you will need to pay any parking fees in place as well as the charging tariff. You’ll also need to adhere to any other parking restrictions in place.
You can only park in EVCP charging bays if your vehicle is actively being charged, you must disconnect and vacate the bay as soon as possible after you have finished charging so others can use it.
| Type of charger | Cost |
| Rapid chargers (40 Minutes to charge) | 72p per Kwh |
| Fast chargers (4 hours to charge) | 56p per Kwh |
