Electric charging points on the Isle of Wight
Car Parks
There are 5 Electric Vehicle Charging Points (EVCP) located in IW Council car parks. The locations are:
- Newport - Chapel Street Car Park.
- Ryde - Quay Road Car Park.
- Cowes - Cross Street Car Park.
- Sandown - St. John's Road Car Park.

The EVCPs in Ryde, Cowes, Sandown and Freshwater are 'fast' chargers which typically take between two and three hours to administer a full vehicle charge. They have an output of approximately 7 kW and are all fitted with Type II sockets.
The EVCP in Newport is a 'rapid' charger. This is the fastest available and can sufficiently charge a vehicle in twenty to thirty minutes. The rapid charger has an output of 43 kW AC or 50 kW DC.
PLACES TO VISIT
A 'fast' charging point is also installed at Ventnor Botanic Garden's car park, with free parking also available to motorists who visit the gardens while their vehicles are charging.
There are eight Solar Powered Electric charging points installed across the Tapnell Farm site. You'll find them placed by The Cow, Tapnell Farm Park and Tom's Eco Lodge. They are all 7kw units.Â
