What is the Electric Vehicle Charging provision in Glasgow?

As of January 2024, the Council had installed 335 live charge points across 175 units for public use in Glasgow, including off-street hubs and 16 'Rapid' units that will charge most vehicles 80% in approximately 30 minutes. 

A further 28 units are currently being completed.

In the 12 months from January to December 2023, the Council's public EV infrastructure was used for just under 145 thousand sessions consuming 2.76 million kWh. This is the equivalent of approximately 8 million emission free miles and a diversion of approximately 1.56 thousand tonnes of CO2. (Data provided by ChargePlace Scotland). All Council chargers are connected to the Charge Place Scotland (CPS) network and users can register for an RFID card on their website. Chargers can also be accessed using their mobile app.

A list of publicly available charge points, including those provided by the council and other organisations can be found on the Charge Place Scotland website

6 units are available exclusively for taxis and private hire vehicles and 6 units for goods vehicles at Newton Street Car park. More details in the Commercial EV Hub section below.

20 units are for exclusive or shared use by Car Club vehicles. For more information visit the Co-wheels website.

Details of all Glasgow City Council owned chargers are available on the National Chargepoint Registry.
