The 8 best public electric chargers in new ULEZ areas

Did you know that from today, 29th August, London’s Ultra-Low Emission Zone has been extended across all London boroughs?

All vehicles in this newly-expanded zone must adhere to emission requirements or drivers face a daily charge of £12.50 to travel. Electric cars are ULEZ-compliant, meaning you avoid paying a daily fee while also travelling sustainably across the capital and reducing harmful emissions released into the environment.

To support the outer London boroughs’ transition to greener mobility, we’ve identified the best public chargers for electric cars in eight different areas impacted by the expansion. We’ve even included a mix of slow, fast and rapid chargers so this list is useful for all your electric charging needs.

Check them out before you plan your next trip in the new ULEZ!
