Electric Vehicle Charging Points

EV Chargers

EV Chargers are located in all of our towns and major villages.We run three types of charging points:

  • Rapid (22-50kW): Rapid chargers are ideal when a vehicle needs a substantial charge quickly.
  • Fast (22kW): Fast chargers are ideal for when a vehicle needs a substantial charge over a period of up to three hours.
  • Standard (7kW): Standard chargers are ideal for charging vehicles when they can be left for longer periods of time.

Tariff

Following approval at Committee on 22 June 2023, the Council will introduce tariffs for the use of Electric Vehicle (EV) charge points from 2 October 2023.

Charger type Unit rate / kWh Maximum stay limit Maximum stay limit
Rapid Chargers (22-50kW) £0.70 60 minutes £30 overstay charge
Fast Chargers (22kW) £0.40 None None
Standard Chargers (7kW) £0.40 None None

Maximum Stay

The Rapid Chargers will have a one hour maximum stay. Using the bay for more than one hour will be considered ‘bay blocking’ and an additional £30 overstay charge will be applied. This is a charge administered by Charge Place Scotland and is automatically applied to the customer’s account on top of the cost of that charging session.

Please note that no refunds will be made for any overstay fees incurred.

All of the Government provided public charge points can be found on the Charge Place Scotland. Other charge points are available across East Dunbartonshire from private companies. You can check the current network on the Zap Map website and the AutoTrader Charging Points Map.

2 x 22kW chargers are provided at the Allander Leisure Centre - serving four bays. One of the bays for these chargers is reserved for disabled access Blue Badge holders.
There are also two additional 22kW sockets on the side of the Rapid Chargers at the Allander Leisure Centre.

* Please note, the Allander units can provide a standalone maximum of 22kw or 50kw, but if all bays are being used there will be a reduction due to demand and available power from the dedicated EV substation.
