electric car parking london centre

Post by hot66 »

After a bit of advice from you londoners ..

I'm heading into central london in June in our electric car .. Friday afternoon through until Sunday afternoon. Normally I'd be on the train but this is to move my daughters things from her flat back to Yorkshire .

Am I exempt from ULEZ & conjestion charges ?

Is there free street parking or free car parking I can take advantge of with an electric car ?

I'm planning on charging 1/2 way down the country so shouldnt need to charge in London ( 260 mile range car & trip is 235 miles one way )

I think you have to register the car to be able to enter free, if not they will bill you.

.

As far as street parking is concerned, I think it varies from one borough to another. Residents with electric cars can get reduced prices on residents parking permits & visitors can get reduced rates on 'pay by phone' parking bays in many boroughs.

End of her internship so back to uni for her last year…. She’d prefer to stay in London working . If all goes to plan she’ll be back down to London in 12 months to continue you on

Wow, do people really call them zero emissions vehicles? They emit more than petrol, only they emit it at a different location to the vehicle.
