Frequently asked questions

This is determined by several factors (e.g. location, passing traffic, accessibility, local amenities, footfall). The number of chargers is decided by ScottishPower and the charger speed can range from 7kW to 150kW. If you’re looking for an EV charging solution but not sure what you need, simply get in touch and our experts can help you navigate the EV charging options to find the best solution for you.

Our chargers are easy to use; simply download the ScottishPower Recharge app, plug in, charge and pay. The ScottishPower Recharge App is the easiest way for customers to locate a charge point, charge, pay and track their usage. Following a simple sign-up process, including registration of their card details, the customer can then use any charge point in our network.

Alternatively, if customers don't want to access the charge point via the app, they can scan the QR code on the charge point, select the charger by tapping 'select' and add their payment method to begin charging instead. For chargers over 7kW, contactless terminals will be activated to allow users to 'tap and go’.

The cost for the charging session will always be visible on the charge point display and in the app. We monitor our rates to make sure they are competitive.
