How to charge your electric vehicle

EV technology continues to improve with each new generation of vehicle. For more information see Zap Map's guide to electric vehicles.

Owners of EVs need to be aware of a number of considerations such as:

• the type of the connection
• various charging rates for example ultra rapid, rapid, fast and slow
• how to access the chargepoint

For more information see Zap Map's charging points search facility.

If you do not have a driveway or other off-street parking, you may still be able to safely charge an electric vehicle from your home if you are able to park directly outside your home. Follow the guidance on how to safely charge your vehicle on the road.
