Perth & Kinross Council EV Projects

We are continually working towards the Government’s vision to free Scotland from harmful emissions arising from petrol and diesel fueled vehicles, by increasing convenience of accessibility and availability of chargers, and promoting the use of electric cars and other modes of zero emission transports.

The “Switched On Scotland: A Roadmap to Widespread Adoption of Plug-in Vehicles” sets out Scotland’s long-term strategy for advancing electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (EVs/PHEVs). The Roadmap introduces a new vision for Scotland that, ”by 2050, Scottish towns, cities and communities will be free from the damaging emissions of petrol and diesel fueled vehicles. A significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions will be accompanied by marked improvements in local air quality, noise pollution and public health.

To achieve the Scottish Government’s vision, Perth and Kinross Council have – in partnership with Transport Scotland, the Office for Low Emission Vehicles, and the Energy Savings Trust – installed chargers across the Perth and Kinross region. Currently, there are 30 chargers accessible to the public with ongoing installations to implement many more. Part of these ongoing installations include Electric A9 sites at Broxden Park & Ride, Auchterarder, Dunkeld & Pitlochry. These installations will be a part of Transport Scotland’s Electric A9 project providing charging infrastructure from Falkirk to Scrabster Harbour.

Effective from 1 May 2024, a tariff will apply to all Perth & Kinross Council chargers.

  • 7kW chargers will cost £0.45 per kWh with a minimum charge of £1
  • AC 22kW & DC 25kW chargers will cost £0.45 per kWh with a minimum charge of £1 and an overstay fee of £10 after 4 hours
  • Rapid chargers will cost £0.50 per kWh with a minimum charge of £1 and an overstay fee of £10 after 1 hour

Motorists can pay for their electricity using their Charge Place Scotland RFID card or app. Pay as you go users can use the Charge Place Scotland webpay facility. For chargers that are located within car parks with parking charges, motorists will continue to have to pay for parking as normal when charging.
