Together they had 2,522 public EV chargers on 1 July 2026, including 355 chargers rated 50kW or more.

How much does public charging cost in Brighton?
Prices are set by each charging network, not by area, so ChargeFinder does not publish an area average. Our network pages show prices where we have checked them against the operator's website, with the month checked. Otherwise, the page says the price has not been checked or that prices vary by site.
