The Council introduced a tariff for the use of the electric vehicle charging infrastructure on 1 July 2023.
| Charger Type | Cost per kWh | Minimum Charge | Overstay Fee | Overstay fee chargeable after every |
| Standard Charger (7kW) | £0.50 | £5.00 | £0.00 | not applicable |
| Fast Charger (22kW) | £0.50 | £5.00 | £12.00 |
4 hours |
| Rapid Charger * (43-50kW) | £0.75 | £5.00 | £20.00 |
60 minutes |
* please note that any 22kW AC connector on a Rapid Charger will be subject to the rapid charger tariff and any overstay fees/time limits.
The tariff introduced will allow us to cover the operating costs of the EV chargepoint network.
These costs include
An overstay fee will be applied to both fast and rapid chargers to ensure that there is a turnover of users created and all users can get access to the chargers. A 10 minute grace period will be provided. No refunds will be given for any overstay fees incurred. The maximum overstay that will be applied per transaction is £60.
Users need to be aware that the overstay time limit applies to the unit and not the cable in use. Therefore if using the AC cable on a rapid charger the tariff rate and overstay limit of 1 hour will apply.
If your vehicle cannot fully charge on the unit being used within the time limit set, the vehicle will require to be removed from charge or the overstay fee will be applied.
No overstay fee is proposed on destination chargers (7kW) however, as a matter of courtesy, we would encourage users to vacate the charging bay as soon as possible after charging is complete to allow other users to access the charger. This will be kept under review and if bay 'hogging' is observed an overstay for destination chargers may be considered in the future.
Clackmannanshire residents without access to off-street parking for example garage or driveway, will be able to apply for a reduced tariff of 10% per kWh. Residents with access to off-street parking are not eligible for the discount. More information can be found on our Residents Discount Scheme page.
For residents without access to off-street parking, but who are interested in installing a driveway to enable at home charging, you will require to apply for a footway crossing.
