Electric Vehicle Charging

Since declaring our Climate Emergency, South Hams District Council has been committed to working with our partners to reduce carbon emissions across the District.

We are working hard across the District to improve the network of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging points available to both residents and visitors alike. Charging points are already available in two of the largest towns in the South Hams and more are planned for installation in 2022-23.
