We currently have 44 electric vehicle charging points installed across the city. We are working with partners to install additional points to ensure we meet the growing demand for accessible, quick and efficient charging points.
Charging at all of our existing sites is free for an introductory period.
Six charging points are available at each of our five city centre multi-story car parks (type 2 - fast charging):
We recently installed charging points in Woolston and Bitterne. Two type 2-fast charging points are available at each of these car parks:
Woolston
Bitterne
You will need a charge card to use all of our charging points.

Our first dedicated taxi-only rapid charger has been installed in Lances Hill car park, Bitterne. The charger can only be accessed by council registered taxi and private hire vehicles. The new infrastructure allows the taxi trade to top-up the car’s battery in less than 30 minutes. We are planning more across the city.
Keep an eye on this page to find out where more charging points are being installed.
