EV charge point installation in Coventry

EV charging in Coventry

Coventry stands out as the UK's EV charging success story, with more electric charging points than anywhere outside London. The city secured £400,000 in funding in March to install 76 new charging points by the end of March 2025, bringing Coventry's total to an impressive 2,307 charging spaces—a testament to the city's commitment to sustainable transport.

Local charging infrastructure

While on-street charge points are predominantly concentrated in Greater London (72% of the UK total), Coventry has established exceptional local availability, making it a benchmark for other UK cities. The city's comprehensive public charging network provides excellent coverage across Coventry's neighbourhoods, from the city centre to suburban areas, supporting the growing number of electric vehicle owners.

Why choose home charging in Coventry?

Coventry's position as the UK's second-largest EV charging hub demonstrates strong local commitment to electric transport. However, even with extensive public infrastructure, Coventry residents with driveways and off-street parking increasingly recognise the convenience and cost benefits of home charging installations. Home charge points eliminate the need to compete for public charging bays and allow residents to charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs, often saving hundreds of pounds annually compared to public charging rates.
