EV charge point ‘pay for use’

ESB Energy, Birmingham City Council’s EV infrastructure provider, has installed more than 200 fast and rapid electric vehicle chargers across the city.

The chargers, part-funded by the Office of Zero Emission Vehicle (OZEV), supply 100% renewable energy to EV drivers across Birmingham.

ESB Energy is encouraging drivers who have not signed up as an ESB Energy customer, to choose an ESB Energy PAYG, Membership or Taxi plan by visiting the ESB website.

Do drivers need to do anything?

If you are already signed up to use ESB Energy’s public charging network, you do not need to do anything – the new rates will be displayed on the EV Plug In app and you can continue to charge as normal.

If you have not signed up to an ESB Energy PAYG, Membership or Taxi plan, we encourage you to do so by visiting the ESB website.

If you are already signed up but wish to change your price plan, contact ESB Energy via the contact details below.

Drivers are no longer able to use non ESB Energy charger access cards. You will require a PAYG, Membership or Taxi account on the EV Plug In App or an ESB Energy charge point access card to access all chargers.
