Stoke-on-Trent City Council announced six additional public electric vehicle charging sockets at three car parks on 3 June 2026. Each location was allocated one 7kW charger with two sockets, aimed at improving access for residents without private off-street parking.
Which car parks were included?
- Hawes Street off-street car park, Tunstall.
- Clarence Street car park, Fenton.
- Stoke Old Road community car park, Hartshill.
These locations and installation figures come from the council's June announcement. They are not a live charger-availability feed. The announcement does not set out charging tariffs or current parking restrictions.
Public chargers and pavement gullies are different
The public car park chargers are separate from the council's cross-pavement gully scheme. A gully is a recessed channel that carries a cable from a resident's home charger across the pavement to a vehicle parked on the street; it is not a public charging unit.
In June, the council reported 27 home-charging devices fitted and another 59 applications approved. Those are figures from that announcement, rather than a current total.
How to find the council's scheme and application links
Residents without off-street parking can use the council's cross-pavement gully scheme page to read the eligibility information and access its application form. The council lists LEVI@stoke.gov.uk for scheme questions.
For the wider public charging rollout, see the council's LEVI pilot locations page. Its list includes proposed sites, which should not be treated as confirmation that a charger is operating.
Correction, 2 October 2026: this article has been clarified to distinguish six sockets at three chargers from pavement cable gullies, and to identify the June installation figures as historical.
