Frequently Asked Questions

How many public EV chargers are there in Cardiff?
The Department for Transport counts chargers by council area, not by town or county. We count each postcode district listed for Cardiff under the council holding most of its postcodes. This selects the council areas Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Vale of Glamorgan. Together they had 1,424 public EV chargers on 1 July 2026, including 394 chargers rated 50kW or more.
Which council area around Cardiff has the most chargers per person?
Bridgend had the most, with 145.7 public chargers per 100,000 people on 1 July 2026. The UK figure was 174.9.
How much does public charging cost in Cardiff?
Prices are set by each charging network, not by area, so ChargeFinder does not publish an area average. Our network pages show prices where we have checked them against the operator's website, with the month checked. Otherwise, the page says the price has not been checked or that prices vary by site.
