Public Charging Made Simple While Sidmouth itself is growing its infrastructure, two reliable public charging stations operate within a 20km radius. The Sidmouth Community Centre hosts a 7kW Type 2 charger perfect for topping up while exploring local shops. A 15-minute drive away, Exeter Shopping Centre offers a 50kW CCS2 DC fast charger – ideal for longer journeys. Both stations welcome all EV models and accept contactless payment.
Compatibility Matters Local charging points support CCS2 and Type 2 (Mennekes) connectors, covering popular models like the Subaru Solterra (485km range) and Genesis GV70 BEV. CHAdeMO users will need an adapter. Chargefox and Evie Networks maintain these stations, ensuring reliability for drivers of everything from practical crossovers to luxury models like the Mercedes-Benz eVito Tourer.
