Frequently Asked Questions

How many public EV chargers are there in Gloucestershire?
The Department for Transport counts chargers by council area, not by town or county. We count each postcode district listed for Gloucestershire under the council holding most of its postcodes. This selects the council areas Cheltenham, Cotswold, Forest of Dean, Gloucester, South Gloucestershire, Stroud and Tewkesbury. Together they had 1,901 public EV chargers on 1 July 2026, including 590 chargers rated 50kW or more.
Which council area around Gloucestershire has the most chargers per person?
Cotswold had the most, with 309.8 public chargers per 100,000 people on 1 July 2026. The UK figure was 174.9.
How much does public charging cost in Gloucestershire?
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.
