The Electric Highway enables electric vehicle drivers to travel the length and breadth of Britain – completely emissions free.
The most comprehensive charging network in Europe, around 300 electricity pumps in Britain, covering the motorway network and beyond.
Operated by Ecotricity they provided free EV charging on the Electric Highway for five years, before moving to a 'charging for charging' model in the summer of 2016 so that they could continue to improve and expand the network.
A 30 minute fast charge on the network now costs £6 – and all you need to do to access and use the entire network is download the Electric Highway app.
The network is still free for Ecotricity energy customers, subject to our fair usage policy.
