Electric car chargers

Northampton charge points

To help residents with on-street parking make the switch to electric vehicles, the Virgin Media Park and Charge project has installed on-street charging sockets across Northampton.

Find charging points at:

• St. James Park Road, NN5 5EL
• Upper Thrift Street, NN1 5HR
• Ardington Road, NN1 5NE
• Barry Road, NN1 5HU
• Oakwood Road, NN1 4SX
• Semilong Road, NN2 6BU
• Vicarage Road, NN5 7AX

These charge points:

• use existing Virgin Media street cabinets and ducts
• have been installed by Liberty Charge
• have been entirely funded by Innovate UK

Each site has 2 charging points, capable of charging 2 cars each, totalling 4 bays. 2 bays are designated 'electric vehicles only' via a Traffic Regulation Order, but the remaining bays can also be designated at a later stage.

Each charging point is rated at 22kW/h - if 2 cars are charging from the same charge point, then they will each receive 11kW/h.

Future charge point locations

We want to hear from our residents on where charge points should be provided in the future, particularly on-street locations.

Existing charge points can be found on Zap Map as well as guidance and useful information on electric vehicles.
