Access the charging points
The charge points can be accessed by the EVDot App and RFID card. Loyalty cards such as Tesco Clubcard and Nectar cards can also be registered against a user's account to authenticate and stop a charging session.
The new charging points will be fast charging, meaning it will take four to five hours to complete a full charge, depending on vehicle.
Further developments
Great Yarmouth is set to have further electric vehicle charging points installed across the borough following the success of the Rapid Charge Point at Fullers Hill.
The initial phase of the charge points are part of the council's plan and successful funding to install a total of 16 charge points, which will service a total of 32 bays in total, across Great Yarmouth and Gorleston.
As phase two of the Council gaining funding for green interventions in the Town Centre, the Council has worked with the Energy Trust to gain 75% of the funding needed for the charging points installation from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles.
