Electric vehicle chargers
There are many electric vehicle (EV) chargers available locally. On this page find general information about EV charging in Aberdeenshire.
EV chargers are owned by the council but we don't operate or maintain them. This is managed by an external charging operator.
Change of EV charging operator
Our EV charge points are being migrated from Charge Place Scotland to EZO.
During this transition, some chargers will still be operated by ChargePlace Scotland while others will already be operated by EZO. The operator is shown on the charge point.
We are working with Aberdeen City, Moray and Highland councils and EZO to provide a joined-up charging network across the north and north east of Scotland.
This partnership supports the expansion of the network. It also provides a consistent approach to maintenance and tariffs across charge points supported by the councils.
Find out more about the Charge Place Scotland transition to EZO.
What you need to charge with EZO
Your ChargePlace Scotland account will not transfer automatically to EZO.
To continue using chargers on the EZO network, you will need to create a new EZO account.
If you want to use an app or an RFID card to pay, you will need to register in the EZO app. You can request an RFID card when you sign up.
Some rapid chargers accept contactless payment but not all do. You will need an account to use chargers that don't accept contactless payment.
For full details about accounts and payment options, view Charge Place Scotland transition to EZO.

Maintenance of chargers is managed by the charging network operator and faults should be reported to them. Check the charge point to find out who the operator is.
