Electric vehicle charging points
Lancaster City Council wishes to help people to convert to zero emission vehicles, reducing transport related emissions and promoting more sustainable forms of transport. We also wish to reduce air pollution and the council’s impact on climate change.
This includes increasing the efficiency of buildings, replacing our vehicle fleet with electric and/or hydrogen powered vehicles and switching to 100% fossil-fuel-free energy.
A key element to achieving these aims is creating new infrastructure to make it easier for people to use electric vehicles. With no tailpipe emissions, electric vehicles make a significant contribution to improving air quality.
On this page you will find a list of charging points that have been installed by the council in Lancaster and Morecambe. The Blink rapid charge devices are not owned by the council and their price per kilowatt hour is available on their website.
We would like to apologise for some of the EV devices becoming faulty due to the manufacturers not providing repairs or spares anymore. BP Polar have exited the market entirely and EO no longer older devices. We are in the process of procuring new devices.
Fast chargers
Council owned and operated charge points are chargeable on a per Kilowatt basis. You will also need to pay any applicable parking charges.
Rapid chargers
Blink Charging have installed four rapid chargers in three car parks (Spring Garden Street, Billy Hill and Heysham Village car park). These chargers are limited to 1-hour use only. Parking is free whilst charging but electricity is charged.
