We''re undertaking the biggest investment in our history to deliver a UK-wide High Power UK charging network at the speed and scale required to meet the demand of electric vehicles and help move the needle on climate change. We''re always working hard to keep pricing as low as possible in the long term.
Power: up to 350kWConnector types: CCS, CHAdeMO
We''ve standardised our DC charging pricing to be the same across the network so that you know what to expect when you charge on the GRIDSERVE Electric Highway. Whether at our Medium Power chargers, which are capable of speeds up to 60kW, or our High Power 350kW-capable chargers, you''ll pay 79p/kWh. You''ll only ever be charged for the energy (per kWh) you receive rather than the speed of charge. This means the rate stays the same whether you''re plugged in alone, dual charging or via an AC socket on a DC Medium Power charger. We continue to invest in the latest charging technology with High Power 350kW-capable chargers being added to the network all the time, increasing charging speeds and charger availability.
Power: up to 22kWConnector types: Type 2
Our Low Power chargers provide an extra level of EV charging flexibility as they use a Type 2 connector and provide a maximum output of 22kW. Type 2 charge ports are featured on most plug-in electric vehicles, regardless of age, which is why you''ll find them on the GRIDSERVE Electric Highway including at our Electric Forecourts®. The rates are per kWh delivered during your charging session – that means the amount of energy you receive rather than the speed of charge. While we offer this pricing for our standalone Low Power AC chargers, if you’re plugged into an AC socket on a Medium Power DC charger you’ll pay the higher DC charger price per kWh.
Pre-authorisation is a temporary hold of funds, which is immediately released once charging is completed. We''ve kept our pre-authorisation charges to £1 across almost all of the GRIDSERVE Electric Highway.

Our step-by-step guide will explain how to charge your electric vehicle on the GRIDSERVE Electric Highway.
The good news is it''s the same simple process, no matter where you''re plugging in and whether you’re using contactless payment, the GRIDSERVE app or any of our roaming partners.
Identify the appropriate connector for your vehicle (either CCS, CHAdeMO or Type 2). You can tell this by looking at the charge port on your vehicle and then checking the end of the charging cable.
Tap your debit/credit card, contactless payment device (e.g., Google or Apple Pay) or fuel card against the payment terminal.
Our payment system reserves a £1 pre-authorisation from your account, which is released once your EV charging session is complete. Read more about pre-authorisation charges here.
Wait for the connector to lock into your vehicle.
That''s the point where the GRIDSERVE charger will start to communicate with your car to understand the speed of charge it can administer. You''ll likely hear a few clunks and whirs as the unit does this.
Check the screen, it should move from a preparing screen to a charging screen with an image of a battery charging. The time and kWh should be increasing.
Time to relax and grab a coffee.
To end your EV charging session, tap your contactless card on the payment terminal, or press ''STOP'' on the screen. Wait for the connector to unlock before returning it to the holster.
Track your session remotely while your vehicle is charging. You can view your charging curve plus current state of charge.
You can then stop the charge via the app before unplugging your vehicle.
On our Medium Power chargers, you can charge two cars simultaneously on the same unit. The message on the charger screen will tell you that dual charging is enabled.
The charger will have two cables: either CCS and CHAdeMO or two CCS connectors.
While two cars are charging, the power is shared between the vehicles, reducing the amount supplied to each vehicle.
Our dual-vehicle capable High Power chargers have two CCS connectors and are strategically positioned between two charging bays. This configuration allows for convenient parking and plugging in enabling simultaneous charging for two cars.

Dual bay High Power charger
When you initiate charging via our app, a charging session screen will appear, providing essential details:
You also have the option to switch to the ‘charging curve’ view. Here, you can see the power of the charge plotted over the duration your vehicle has been plugged in.
This provides a visual representation of how the charging power fluctuates over time during your session, offering valuable insights into the charging process. You’ll notice that at 80% charging slows down significantly so you may be better charging again further down the road, freeing up the bay for other drivers at peak times.
