Charger locations
We have Podpoint 7kw vehicle chargers at all ten of our public car parks in the Yorkshire Dales. This includes:
We have recently added two new charging points at Hawes (Dales Countryside Museum) National Park Visitor Centre and at our Malham National Park Visitor Centre. These were installed in partnership with BMW.
You can also find charging points at Tebay Services, Fountains Abbey and Kirkby Lonsdale.
You can also find other charging points on the Zap Map.
Pricing
Each unit is a dual charger, which provides about 30 miles per hour of charge at a cost of 62p per kwh. The chargers are app-enabled and you can find out how to access it here.
Please note that if using the charge points you must purchase an appropriate parking ticket to cover the time whilst charging.
Our charging points are designed for topping up rather than full charging. We aim to give electric vehicle users the confidence to visit the Yorkshire Dales National Park, knowing they can recharge if needed. We regularly review usage and may install more chargers at key locations as demand grows.
