Electric vehicle charging locations - on-street
Herefordshire Council has partnered with Wenea to provide EV chargepoints for the public as part of the Government’s Local Electric Vehicles Infrastructure (LEVI) Pilot scheme.
The chargepoints will be installed on residential streets where there are high proportions of housing with limited or no access to private off-street parking. These chargepoints will help to give confidence to residents without driveways who are thinking of making the switch to an electric vehicle that they will be able to charge it close to their home.
The chargers will be low powered units (7kW -22kW) which is enough to give a full charge overnight for most electric vehicles.
Electricity at all chargepoints will be subject to a fee, payable to the chargepoint operator. The tariff will usually be shown on the chargepoint, and will also be available on the chargepoint provider's app. Please note, the on-street chargers cannot be paid for with a debit or credit card. Please pay for use of these chargers via the Wenea app - registration is not required.
On-street chargepoint locations
The first batch of on-street EV chargepoints have been approved for five locations in Hereford, Leominster and Kington. Additional locations across the county are being assessed with approvals expected in the coming months. Follow the Herefordshire Council social media accounts for further updates.
These chargepoints will be part of the national network. Check availability and charge tariff on a number of live maps including the Wenea live map and Zap-Map.
Suggest locations for chargepoints
We are looking for potential new locations for public chargepoints, particularly to support residents that have to park on-street. If you own or are thinking of buying an electric vehicle (EV) and would like to suggest a location for a new chargepoint - please complete our chargepoint suggestion form.
Please note, only installs on Herefordshire Council owned land can be considered currently. If you have a location suggestion for somewhere else, such as a supermarket car park, please contact the landowner directly to find out about their EV infrastructure plans.
