Electric vehicle (EV) charging
We have a network of fast and rapid electric vehicle charging points installed in public car parks across the Winchester district.
Winchester City Council has partnered with JoJu Solar and Be.EV (formerly Mer) to improve local air quality and encourage drivers to reduce their carbon footprint by transitioning to electric vehicles. As of June 2026, we have installed 82 charging points, including 37 dual chargers.

The Mer charging network has been acquired by Be.EV
The Mer public EV charging network has now been acquired by Be.EV. Drivers who use Mer charge points will begin to see Be.EV pricing, branding, payment systems and customer support introduced across the network over the next few months.
See the Be.EV website for a full overview of the EV charging network and live availability.
For assistance in using one of Be.EV’s chargers, see the Be.EV website.
The Be.EV App
The Mer app will stop working for the chargers after the transition period, instead it is recommended to use Be.EV’s app instead. The Be.EV app provides:
•Access to Be.EV’s best prices, including the industry leading 39p/kWh Mega subscription tariff.
•Locate available chargers.
•Start, view and stop charging sessions.
•Access history and VAT receipts.
•Manage payment methods and subscriptions.You can download the Be.EV app via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Pricing
Be.EV pricing varies depending on charger speed, payment method and time of day. The Be.EV app is the easiest way to pay and control your charge. Plus, you get their cheapest rate.
*Please note that the new pricing will not be available until chargers are migrated to Be.EVSupport
If you are having trouble charging, the Be.EV team can be contacted on 0800 917 3208 or
