Electric vehicles consultation

In March 2024 we consulted with residents as part of the Kirklees Innovative Electric Vehicles Programme to build a future for electric vehicles that works for everyone. Results will be shared soon on the consultation site.

There is a network of publicly accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging points across Kirklees. The charge points below are in council car parks, but a lot of supermarkets and retail destinations, as well as other business have charging points available for the public to use.

Tariffs, payment and restrictions

Charging tariffs vary between charge point operators. Some charge points operators require users to download an app to access their charge points, while others have contactless payment enabled. Please refer to the individual operator's website for details.

Length of stay and parking restrictions may apply at some charge point locations. Please check signage and bay markings carefully for details. Most charge points are compatible with a range of vehicle types, such as cars, motorbikes and vans, although some car parks have height restriction barriers in place.
