What local residents say

★★★★★

"I used Menston EV charging for the first time this weekend and I had a really positive experience especially for the price. It's significantly cheaper than most public chargers and ideal for people who don't have a driveway. Booking via texting Duncan was simple and he let me know when my car was charged. I'd definitely recommend this if you're local — it's cheap and convenient."

"We've used this charging spot a few times now, and it's cheap, convenient, and easy to use. Duncan is a great guy who makes the booking and payment process simple. We fully charge our Tesla Model 3 from around 20% to 100% for just £5! Duncan also lets you leave the car overnight to charge on his driveway, and you can collect it whenever it's convenient for you. Highly recommend this charging spot!"

"Fantastic service from Duncan. Everything was arranged quickly and completely stress-free over WhatsApp, making the whole experience incredibly convenient. The charging itself was excellent value. We added 64 kWh to the car, which worked out at around 240 miles of driving for just £6.40 — amazing value compared with public charging options. Friendly, easy to arrange, great value, and absolutely no hassle. I would definitely recommend Duncan's EV charging service."

💡 Charging here at 10p/kWh costs roughly the same as having your own home charger — but without needing a driveway. Figures are estimates based on ~3.5 miles/kWh for an EV, ~40mpg petrol at £1.65/litre, and typical public rapid rates of ~70p/kWh.

Made for village life

Living in a terraced house shouldn't mean missing out on the benefits of electric driving.

🏘️

No driveway at home

Terraced house, flat or no off-street parking? You can still charge your EV conveniently without relying on expensive public chargers.

🤔

Thinking about going electric?

Worried an EV wouldn't be practical without a driveway? This solves that problem — and at 10p/kWh, the savings are real.

💰

Tired of fuel prices?

With petrol back above £1.60 a litre, switching to electric and charging here could save you hundreds of pounds a year.

Eco-conscious locals

Every charge here is a step toward cleaner air in our village. It's the practical, community-minded choice.

FAQ

Everything you need to know before your first charge. Tap a question to expand.

We have solar panels and a home battery, which means we can offer the 10p rate throughout the day as well as overnight — not just at the cheap grid rate. It's what makes the price genuinely sustainable rather than a short-term offer.
The charger runs at 7.4kW, which adds roughly 25–30 miles of range per hour. Going from about 20% to full takes most cars 6–10 hours, which is why most customers leave their car overnight.
Yes — it's what most customers do. Drop off in the evening, and your car is charged and ready when you collect it next morning.
Yes. Tap a free slot in the list above to send a ready-written WhatsApp message, or call or text 07300 365423. I'll confirm the slot and make sure the charger is ready for you.
I usually reply within an hour between 7am and 10pm. If you message late at night, I'll get back to you first thing in the morning.
The charger is an Autel unit with an extra long Type 2 cable, which fits the vast majority of electric vehicles sold in the UK, including Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, VW ID.3, Tesla Model 3, MG4, and many more. The extra long cable means you don't need to park right up against the wall.
Yes — any car with a Type 2 socket can plug in. Plug-in hybrids have smaller batteries and often charge more slowly, so a full charge usually takes a few hours and costs just a pound or two.
The charger records every session to the exact kWh. When you've finished, I'll message you the total and the cost, so you only pay for exactly what you used.
Payment is by cash or bank transfer. You pay for exactly what you use — there are no standing charges, connection fees, or subscriptions.
No problem — you can unplug and collect your car at any time. If you're going to be later than planned, just drop me a message so I can let the next customer know.
Very much so! A lot of people in terraced streets don't get an EV because they worry about charging. This service removes that barrier — you don't need your own driveway.
