EV Charging Points in Havant: Council Chargers and Maps

Where can I charge an electric car in Havant?

Havant Borough Council's own electric vehicle page lists three 50kW rapid charge points in the borough, installed in partnership with GeniePoint. One of them is at Leigh Park, postcode PO9 5FB, installed in December 2018, which is within the Havant area. The other two are at Emsworth (PO10 7EH, December 2018) and Waterlooville (PO7 7EE, March 2019), both outside Havant town. This is as published on the council's electric vehicle charge points page in October 2026.

The council page lists these three council-partnered chargers only. It does not list private or supermarket chargers, and it does not give a charger count for any car park or a price per unit. We therefore do not name other sites or quote prices here. For everything else, use the live maps linked further down.

The council chargers, at a glance

The council says the chargers are 50kW rapid charge points, and it describes them as enabling residents and visitors to charge quickly on the go. The Leigh Park unit is the one nearest to Havant town. The page gives postcodes rather than car park names for each location, so enter PO9 5FB into your satnav or map app to find it. Our Leigh Park area page has more on the neighbourhood.

Do I need to pay for parking while I charge?

According to the council, free parking applies while charging only. Non-electric vehicles are not permitted to park in the charge point bays at any time. Once your vehicle is charged, you must move it from the car park, or re-park it in a marked parking bay and buy a valid pay and display ticket, or you may be issued a Penalty Charge Notice.

That means a rapid charge is not a way to park all day for free. Set a reminder for when your session should finish, and check the signs in the car park for current conditions. The council also says to check the notice boards in its car parks for current tariffs, chargeable days, times and conditions of use. See our Havant parking guide for the wider rules.

How much does it cost to charge?

The council does not publish a charging price. It says the cost of charging varies, and that drivers should note the charger tariff posted on each charge point, which may change from time to time, because the facility is operated by GeniePoint. To estimate the cost for your own car, the council points to the Zap-Map public charging calculator.

How do I find other charge points near me?

The council says the car park locations are listed on its page, but that you can find your nearest charge point on Zap-Map. It says the information is kept up to date and that drivers add status comments in real time. Zap-Map shows other operators' sites too. Before you set off, check that a charger is working and free, because a listing does not guarantee a working or unoccupied unit.

If you drive to Havant station, our train station guide covers the station car park. National Rail's station page does not list charging, so check the car park signs or Zap-Map rather than assuming there are chargers there.

What is planned next?

The council says it is working with Hampshire County Council to plan the next phase of charge points. The council page links to Hampshire County Council's electric vehicles page, which is where to look for county plans. Those details change, so check that page directly for dates.

Charging at home

This guide covers public charging only. The council's electric vehicle page does not cover home charging. If you are thinking about a home charger, speak to a registered installer, and if you live in a flat or have no driveway, check with your landlord or freeholder first.
