Charge Your Car

General information

Launched in 2010 in the North East of England, CYC is now being expanded in to a national network. There are over 2,000 free-to-use or pay-to-use charge points already connected, with more being added every month.

For EV drivers, CYC makes it simpler and more convenient to travel across the UK, and within a few years, to always be within range of a CYC charge point. A single RFID card (the CYC Access Card) provides access to all charge points on the network, whilst the CYC app is the first app that lets EV drivers find and use charge points. To use the network, EV drivers simply register a debit/credit card, which connects to their CYC Access Card and app. The CYC telephone helpline provides support and advice.

Charge Your Car does not own the charge points on the network. CYC operates by providing a single national charge point management system to which charge point owners can connect charge points, making the posts visible to all EV drivers via the CYC live status map. CYC enables charge point owners to set the tariff for each charge point, collect payment for usage, and provides alerts to charge point maintenance teams in the event of a fault.

* Charge Your Car manages charge points for public and private sector organisations such as local authorities, train companies, commercial networks, fleets, vehicle manufacturers, car park operators, supermarkets, hotels and B&Bs.
