Electric vehicle charging

Find electric vehicle charging points, costs and support

You can use our public electric vehicle chargers across South Lanarkshire to charge your car. You pay for the electricity you use, and there is a time limit on rapid chargers to make sure everyone gets a turn. On this page you can check current charges, understand overstay fees, report a fault or damaged sign, and find out about installing a charger at a council home.

The location of our charge points and their availability can be found on ChargePlace Scotland.

Charges for using our chargers

We charge a set price per kilowatt hour, depending on the type of charger you use.

Standard and fast chargers: 45p per kilowatt hour
Rapid chargers: 75p per kilowatt hour

Rapid chargers have a 60‑minute maximum connection time. If you stay connected for longer, we automatically apply a £30 overstay charge to your account. This applies to all connectors on a rapid charger, including the 22kw connection.

We review charges regularly because energy costs change. Always check the latest prices before you plug in.

Overstay charges on rapid chargers

We use overstay charges to keep chargers available for as many drivers as possible.

If your car charges more slowly, the charger output is lower, or nearby chargers are out of order, the 60‑minute limit still applies. We are unable to consider every individual request for overstay charges, and as such the overstay charge would not be refunded.

Reporting a problem

If a charger is not working or has a fault, report it to ChargePlace Scotland. Use their online form or call 0141 648 0750 and quote the number on the charger.

Charge point users are encouraged to use the facilities responsibly and to follow the network's Etiquette guide.

If a sign is missing or damaged, you can report this to us using our Electric vehicle charging enquiry form so we can arrange a repair.

Installing a charger at a council property

If you are a council tenant and want to install a home charging point, see our Electric Vehicle Charging point installations at council properties page.
