Electric vehicle charging points
In association with SWELTRAC, we have installed two electric vehicle (EV) charging bays in Richmond upon Thames public car parks:
A further seven charging points have been installed at locations in Hammersmith and Fulham, Sutton and Wandsworth.
Members of the scheme will also be able to use the 62 points in the London Borough of Westminster.
How does the pilot scheme work?
The new electric vehicle charging points allow an electric vehicle owner to charge their vehicle for a limited time in a dedicated parking bay.
The charging points can only be used with an electronic key fob which will be distributed to registered members of the scheme. Once registered you will be eligible to use all of the SWELTRAC charging points as well as a number of other charging points across London.
There is an annual administration fee of £100 for membership and terms and conditions apply.
Membership of the scheme does not entitle you to free parking and any Pay and Display parking charges must still be paid.
Who is eligible?
Membership is open to any private electric vehicle owner or user living in one of the ten SWELTRAC Boroughs.
The ten SWELTRAC boroughs are: Croydon, Hammersmith and Fulham, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Kensington and Chelsea, Merton, Richmond, Kingston, Sutton and Wandsworth.
What is the cost of membership?
The cost of registration will be £100 per annum. For this fee users will be issued with detailed instructions on using the bays, a coiled charging cable (coiled to help prevent trip accidents) and an electronic key fob which will allow them to access the charging point.
All standard car parking charges, time restrictions, terms and conditions apply.
