Upcoming changes to University EV charging stations

The University of Edinburgh’s electric vehicle (EV) charging supplier will change at the end of 2025, with minimal disruption expected for users.

EV Charging Point

The Estates Transport Office is leading the transition and is in the process of appointing a new supplier to replace ChargePlace Scotland, whose current contract concludes later this year. The changeover is expected to take place between late December and early January. 

During this time, the new supplier will connect to the University’s existing charging network, and a new process will be introduced for EV users. The Estates team aims to keep any temporary disruption to a minimum. 

Chris Hanratty, Fleet Manager, said: 

“We want to reassure staff and students that our EV charging service will continue with as little interruption as possible while we transition to a new network.” 

Further updates will be shared once the new supplier is confirmed.
