Frequently asked questions
We want to make charging your electric vehicle as easy as possible. Here you’ll find our most commonly asked questions.
What is the D2N2 network?
The D2N2 network is a public network of around 750 fast and rapid charge points in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, Derby and Derbyshire.
Funded initially through the Go Ultra Low Nottingham programme and continued through other grant funding, it aims to improve infrastructure for EV drivers, supporting the uptake of ultra low emission vehicles.
Where is the D2N2 area?
Any postcode within Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. A full map can be found here.
When and where are the charge points being installed?
We began installing charge points in Nottingham in 2018 and are continuing to assess a large number of additional sites across the region for viability and permissions to work on for installation.
Charge points can be found at strategic locations such as car parks and park and ride sites.
How do I access the network and how much does it cost?
There are three ways to access the network:
