EV Charging Points in Hexham

Electric vehicle drivers visiting or living in Hexham are reasonably well served, with the main charging hub at Wentworth Car Park and further options across the area.

Wentworth Car Park — The Main Hub

Wentworth Car Park (NE46 1QE) is the primary EV charging location in central Hexham. Multiple chargers on the Fuuse/EV Charge.Online network with six connectors across three devices, plus units on the Charge Your Car network. Adjacent to the leisure centre — easy to combine a charge with a gym session or walk into town.

Connector Types and Speed

Type 2 connectors running at 7kW AC. A typical EV gains 25-30 miles per hour of charging. Allow two to three hours for a meaningful top-up. These are not rapid chargers — for 50kW+ rapid charging, use the A69 corridor services towards Newcastle or Carlisle.

Networks

• Fuuse / EV Charge.Online — check live availability and start sessions via the Fuuse app
• Charge Your Car / bp pulse — compatible with bp pulse RFID card or app

Planning Your Visit

The Zap-Map app (zapmap.com) is the most reliable real-time source. Search NE46 or Wentworth Car Park. PlugShare also has community-reported check-ins.

Other Options

Several hotels near Hexham (Langley Castle, Slaley Hall) have limited EV charging for guests. Northumberland County Council has been actively expanding rural EV infrastructure.

Tips

Arriving with sufficient range to charge slowly while exploring town is the most practical approach. The town centre is compact enough to walk from Wentworth to the Abbey, Market Place, and Queen's Hall without moving the car.
