Birmingham is the UK's second city and its EV charging infrastructure has grown substantially in recent years, driven by the city's clean air ambitions and the West Midlands Combined Authority's transport strategy.
Public Charging in Birmingham
City Centre
The Bullring and Grand Central areas have several rapid charging points. Car parks in the city centre — including the NCP facilities — have been adding EV bays. Coverage is good but can be patchy during peak shopping times.
Broad Street and Brindleyplace
The canal district and leisure quarter has solid EV charging, particularly in hotel car parks and entertainment venue car parks.
Digbeth and Eastside
The creative quarter and HS2 development zone. New buildings here have EV charging as standard, and the area is becoming one of Birmingham's better-served EV zones.
EV Hotels in Birmingham
Staying in Birmingham City Centre
Several flagship hotels in the city centre have full EV charging facilities. These tend to be on the more premium end, but the investment in infrastructure is evident.
Solihull and the NEC
For visitors attending events or arriving via Birmingham Airport, the Solihull and NEC corridor has some of the best hotel EV charging in the Midlands.
