Introduction of Fees for Council’s Public Electric Vehicle Chargers

15/11/2022 - Introduction of Fees for Council’s Public Electric Vehicle Chargers

(i)  To end the free to use offer at SCC’s public EV chargers and introduce a fee-paying service at an introductory rate of £0.45/kwh (inclusive of VAT) from the 12th December 2022. Future fees will be reviewed routinely and updated where necessary to ensure income is aligned with costs.

(ii)  For those chargers SCC currently provides for the dedicated use by SCC licensed taxi and private hire vehicles, to delegate authority to the Executive Director of Place, following consultation with the relevant Cabinet Member, to relax the current access restriction and/or introduce fees at a future date and when satisfied that this sector has sufficient charging infrastructure available to support its transition to EV’s.
