Our ultra-rapid charging hubs are available for all fully electric vehicle drivers to use. CCS2 connectors can be found at all of our ultra-rapid charging hubs and most of them also offer CHAdeMO connectors.

We have a few sites with Type 2 connections offering up to either 7kW or 22kW charging speed. These are shown by a grey pin on our website map.

Although speed of charge does depend upon your vehicle, our 150kW chargers can provide up to 80% charge in as little as 30 minutes.

We also have some chargers capable of up to 7kW or 22kW which provide a slower charge, they can be found on our map shown by a grey pin.

Our ultra-rapid charging service is maximum 79p per kWh.

We also have some slower charging locations which provide up to 7kW or 22kW at a maximum rate of 49p per kWh.

You don’t need a subscription for any of our services.

When using bank cards for payment a pre-authorisation is a taken, as a temporary hold of funds to make sure the money is available to pay for your charging session.

We currently take a £40 pre-authorisation at the start of your session for ultra-rapid charging.

Once your charge session is complete, the actual cost of the charge will be debited from your payment card. Smart Charge release the pending amount to your bank almost straight away after the charge ends. Your bank controls how fast they release pending payments back to the account holder. Whilst many release straightaway, some can take up to 7 business days. Please contact your bank to request the release of pre-authorisation funds.

Pre-authorisation amounts may differ for our slower charging locations.
