Chargepoints operated by the council

The council operate 6 rapid (50kW) and 29 fast (7kW) public chargepoints across Wiltshire. The rest are run by the commercial sector. Our public chargepoints have all been installed in council owned car parks and are distributed to ensure all settlements with over 10,000 population have access to at least one public charger. 

Please note: chargepoints at our workplace locations are for Wiltshire Council vehicles only. They need to be available at all times, so are not for public use.
