Strategy Consultation: Help us improve Electric Vehicle Charging in Stoke-on-Trent
We know we need to cater for a variety of different requirements and want to hear more about your EV charging needs.
We're looking for your input on electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities in Stoke-on-Trent. Our goal is to make sure current and future EV owners have convenient access to charging wherever they need it.
If there is no option for an EV user to charge their vehicle off street at home, or at their place of work, there are three main types of public charge point available providing for a variety of different uses:
- Residential Charging (long stay/overnight, 6+ hours) - Typically focused in residential areas with limited off street parking.
- Destination Charging (medium stay, 2+ hours) - Generally located in public car parks. Destination charge points provide higher energy output than residential options and are often located where vehicles are parked for several hours at a time.
- In-Transit Charging (Rapid, <1 hour) - Generally located on key transit corridors including A-roads and at motorway services to facilitate longer journeys. Rapid and ultra-rapid charge points allows much faster charging of an electric vehicle.
There are many things to consider when placing charging stations, like:
- Demand: Where do people want to charge their EVs the most?
- Electricity Capacity: Is there enough power in the area to support charging?
- Parking Availability: Are there suitable parking spots for charging stations?
