Four 7kWh charging points for electric vehicles are available for use at Market Yard Car Park, Edenbridge.
As one of the car parks the Town Council owns, Edenbridge councillors identified Market Yard as a suitable site to install the charge-points. The Council worked with Kent Parish Networks on a partnership project to install the charge-points in January 2024. The project is funded by Kent County Council, a government grant, and a contribution from the Town Council’s CIL funds (money received from developers).
The electric points are slow-charging – ideal for residents or visitors wanting to top up their charge, or for those wanting to charge a full battery overnight.
The cost per kWh for users is 50p and the charge speed is 7kWh per hour. Payment is through a mobile app, which users can access by scanning a QR code.
