Charging on the go

There are plenty of publicly available chargepoints across the UK, if you need to charge your electric vehicle on the go, or if you don't have a home chargepoint. These could be found on street, supermarket carparks, shopping centres and service stations. Zapmap (external site) is a great source for finding your nearest local public charging infrastructure.

You can also find shared home chargepoints online, where people in your area sign up to share their chargepoints, in return for a fee.

Chargepoints we have installed

We have already installed a network of chargepoints countywide with BP Pulse to help the people of Lancashire make the switch to electric vehicles. 50 kW chargepoints can typically fully charge an electric vehicle in less than an hour, and 7kWh chargepoints will take around three hours to fully charge the vehicle.
