Sheffield's new electric car chargers - which include 'rapid' charging options capable of charging some electric vehicles batteries to 80% in under an hour, are now live and ready to be used.
Where are they?
The new sites are:
- Clarence Ln (by Waitrose)
- Prince of Wales Rd
There are also chargers which replace the existing ones at
- Carver Lane Car park (by the city hall)
- Parkers’ Lane Car Park (near the Hallamshire Hospital off Whitham Rd)
Two of the locations are solely for use by taxis registered in Sheffield
More chargers will be coming online in the near future, including on Eldon Street (between Division St and West St).

How much will they cost?
The cost of charging will be 30p per kilowatt hour for the first hour – which will charge the vast majority of electric vehicles to 80% of their maximum.
After the first hour, the cost will rise to £10 for every hour to encourage drivers to free up the space for the next driver to come along. When charging, parking is free and there are no additional parking charges.
Payment is either by card, or through the Franklin Energy App, which can be downloaded here

 Each charger can charge at 50kW DC or 22kW AC, which will accommodate most electric vehicle models on the market.
