There are 5 Electric Vehicle Charging Points (EVCP) located in IW Council car parks. The locations are:
The EVCPs in Ryde, Cowes, Sandown and Freshwater are 'fast' chargers which typically take between two and three hours to administer a full vehicle charge. They have an output of approximately 7 kW and are all fitted with Type II sockets.
The EVCP in Newport is a 'rapid' charger. This is the fastest available and can sufficiently charge a vehicle in twenty to thirty minutes. The rapid charger has an output of 43 kW AC or 50 kW DC and the plugs available are:
The EVCPs are operated by SSE. A payment card is required and this can be obtained from www.chargepointgenie.com.
For a limited period the council is allowing free parking in its car parks for vehicles that are using the charging point.
A 'fast' charging point is also installed at Ventnor Botanic Garden's car park, with free parking also available to motorists who visit the gardens while their vehicles are charging.
