6,500 charge points on YourParkingSpace rented driveways

According to the latest figures from online parking platform YourParkingSpace.co.uk, it now has more than 6,500 charge point locations on bookable private driveways and empty parking spaces – representing more than a third of all available charge point locations in the UK which currently stands at around 16,000.

The company says this can help end EV charge point anxiety. 

Harrison Woods, CEO at YourParkingSpace.co.uk, said: “As EVs become the car of choice, we all need to think outside the box when it comes to the EV charging infrastructure to cope with the rising demand.

“Rented driveways and empty off-street parking spaces provide a goldmine of locations that can be offered as EV charging spaces as drivers park their cars, whether it be just for an hour or so, or for a longer stay. The number of these charge points is growing at a rapid pace and provides an immediate alternative to forecourt charging.”

Along with 6,500 charge point locations, YourParkingSpace.co.uk also has more than 18,000 EV charge points and more than 31,000 connectors or sockets which can be booked in advance, with up-to-the-minute reliable availability.

Harrison added: “YourParkingSpace.co.uk is constantly adding EV charge point locations to our network of parking spaces and through partnerships is working towards the goal that motorists will never be more than 20 minutes from an available YourParkingSpace.co.uk charge point.”
