Chargers everywhere
Charging up an EV is easier than ever. Whether you’re at home or on the move, there are plenty of options.
Charging on the move
With more than 40,000 public charge point connectors across the UK, you’re never far from your next charge
For most day-to-day journeys you won’t need to charge up on the move. But if you’re travelling longer distances or just need a top-up, you’re never far from a charging point.
You’ll find them on local streets, in car parks and in filling stations. It’s easy to plan longer journeys, with rapid chargers available at all major motorway service stations.
In Greater Manchester alone there are 360 charge points with around 700 connectors. Find all charge points in the UK and get live updates on availability on the interactive map below.
The Be.EV network
Be.EV is Greater Manchester’s dedicated public charging network. There are 118 new and upgraded fast chargers on the Be.EV network and seven rapid chargers. We’re installing another 24 rapid chargers right now, with hundreds more to follow in coming years. Some of those will be just for taxi and private hire drivers to use.
This map shows all the Be.EV charging points in Greater Manchester.
