Electric Charge Points
To support you in making the switch to electric power, Inverclyde Council has a reliable network of chargers.
Use the interactive map of chargers available at Charge Place Scotland, to discover the locations of all of our public chargers, plus others on the national ChargePlace Scotland network, all accessible via a single account.
Additionally, more and more businesses (e.g. supermarkets, hotels, fuel stations and private developers) are providing charging options for their customers. Locations of these are often available at ZapMap or Plugshare.

They also offer interest free loans available for individuals and businesses to purchase electric vehicles.
