EV charging site check by postcode: demand, solar, payback

A first look at your site in under a minute. We look up your council's chargers and plug-in vehicles, the solar yield at your postcode, and run three usage scenarios through the funding models.

How this is worked out

Your postcode gives your council (postcodes.io). Demand compares plug-in vehicles per public charger in your council with the median UK council.
The suggested charger is the slowest standard charger that adds 40 miles within the visit length.
Income scenarios use 0.5, 1 and 2 sessions per bay per day with the income calculator's example figures and your electricity cost.
Solar yield comes from PVGIS for your location, for a south-facing array with 14% system losses.
Traffic is the DfT annual average daily flow (all motor vehicles) at the nearest count points; passing traffic is a sign of demand for rapid charging, less so for long-stay sites.
Your postcode is sent to postcodes.io and rounded coordinates to PVGIS. We do not store it.
