EV charging points across the town
The council have brought the total number of EV charging points to 102 (dual) in Watford to significantly improve the accessibility and convenience of EV charging for both residents and visitors alike.
This move will also encourage the uptake of EVs and you can view a map of all of our electric vehicle charging points in Watford provided by the council. You can request an Electric Vehicle Charging Point to be placed near your house.
