There is no centralised official map of charge points.  Charge point maps are provided by various charge point operators, and via other information service providers.  A centralised repository for data provided by CPOs about their charge points is currently under construction and is expected to become available in April 2025.  This will enable the provision of an official map of charge points.

Yes, in most cases, EVs cost less to run than petrol or diesel cars. Charging an EV at home is usually cheaper than filling up with petrol, and EVs require less maintenance due to fewer moving parts.

EVs use an electric motor powered by a battery, which can be charged at home or at public charging stations. When you press the accelerator, the motor draws power from the battery to drive the wheels.

An EV runs on electricity stored in a battery rather than on petrol or diesel, making it a cleaner option for the environment. It produces zero emissions when driving, which helps reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases.
