Charging Points

West Berkshire Council Charging Points

Their charge point bollards are conveniently located at the front of the footway, drawing electricity from a nearby lamppost so you can easily connect your charging cable.

You can use a standard charging cable with their charge points. 

Each charge point comes with straightforward instructions for charging your vehicle.

These residential charging bollards can charge your vehicle at speeds of up to 5.2kW, making them perfect for overnight charging.

The exact charging time varies based on your vehicle’s battery size and its remaining charge.

To estimate your charging time, simply divide the battery size or available capacity by the charge point rating.

For example, if you have an empty 40kWh battery, it will take about eight hours to charge at one of our charge points. 

With their Pay as You Go access for on-street charging, it costs £0.49 per kWh during standard hours (7pm to 4pm) and £0.85 per kWh during peak times (4pm to 7pm).

In partnership with Ubitricity, they’re excited to announce plans to supply, install, and manage up to 250 additional on-street charge points in West Berkshire over the next four years, helping residents make the switch to electric vehicles.

They’re on the lookout for new locations and aim to ensure extensive coverage throughout the district.

They’ve set up a network of public charge points across West Berkshire in collaboration with Mer, BP, and Swarco (also known as Evolt Charging) to cater to the increasing number of electric vehicles and the demand for charging amenities.

Providing charge points is a wonderful step towards a more sustainable district, and they’re eager to promote the use of low-emission vehicles.
