SureCharge offers a range of chargers from 5.5kWh for in-column, through to fast 22kWh chargers, and on to rapid DC chargers of up to 150kWh. Our network is growing at pace, and we are planning to install hundreds more EV charging points across London, aligning with and meeting our customer demands.

A full list of charging points is available on the SureCharge app. This is updated as new locations are installed.

Whilst our customers cannot, at present, reserve a charging point in advance, drivers can check to see if a specific charge point is available by using the SureCharge app. Within the app, each SureCharge location is marked with a power icon. This circle appears green when the charge point is available and red when in use.

Our weekday tariff is 49p per kWh (kilowatt hour) from 7pm to 4pm, and 85p per kWh from 4pm to 7pm, and our weekend tariff is 49p per kWh (effective from midnight Friday to midnight Sunday).

Both tariffs include a pre-authorisation fee of £45.00 across the whole network.

Yes, HMRC recently clarified its rules on how VAT liabilities will be treated in respect to the supply of electricity via public EV charging points. As such, supplies of electric vehicle charging through charging points in public places are now charged at the standard rate of VAT. There is no exemption or relief that reduces the rate of VAT charged. As a result, SureCharge has undertaken a review to consider how these tax liabilities will be treated within their pricing structure to consumers. Accordingly, SureCharge has taken the view that the 20% VAT liability will need to be added to their charging fee.

SureCharge operates on a pay-as-you-go basis, with no subscriptions. Simply download the app, follow the simple instructions, plug in and charge.

Parking bays that are located next to lamp post column charging points operate as normal. There is no dispensation for electric vehicles parking in shared-use bays. Users must either display a valid permit or pay and display ticket or have activated an online parking session to use these bays.

As soon as you start charging, your bank pre-authorises (reserves) £45.00 to ensure it’s available for you to pay with. If you have mobile banking, you may see this amount appear on your statement. When you finish charging, we tell your bank the real amount you spent, they then deduct it and remove the pre-authorised amount. This process can take a few minutes to a few days depending on who you bank with.

Once the charging transaction is complete, the card/account is charged the actual amount spent based on the current unit price per kWh delivered.

If no charge is made (i.e. you unplug your car) the pre-authorised payment will be reversed back to your account (this is an automatic procedure operated by all banks/card issuers).

The charge time will vary depending on the charging point you are using.
