UK recharge points – find your nearest on-street point

UK recharge pointsWhile plug-in hybrids do not rely on being able to recharge with electricty, operating in electric mode will reduce fuel costs and lower emissions. Accessing home and on-street charging facilities is therefore recommended whenever possible.

Explore Zap-Map below to find your nearest on-street charge point.

Access to public-access points usually requires the use of a particular connector which is usually issued on registration (refer to the notes for each point displayed).

Three types of recharge point are currently used in the UK:

  • 'Slow' points use a standard 13 Amp supply (6-8 hours for full charge);
  • 'Fast' points use single or three-phase 32 Amps supply (3-4 hours); and
  • 'Rapid' points provide direct current supply (typically 80% charge in 30 mins).
