Frequently Asked Questions

How many public EV chargers are there in Leicester?

This selects the council areas Blaby, Charnwood, Harborough, Hinckley and Bosworth, Leicester, Melton, North West Leicestershire, Oadby and Wigston and Rutland. Together they had 1,287 public EV chargers on 1 July 2026, including 450 chargers rated 50kW or more.
Which council area around Leicester has the most chargers per person?
Blaby had the most, with 192.3 public chargers per 100,000 people on 1 July 2026. The UK figure was 174.9.
How much does public charging cost in Leicester?
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.
