About this stop
Charge Your Car operates this EV charging site in South Shields, known as The Word. It provides 7 kW peak AC charging, which is a slower form of charging. The station uses Type 2 connectors, but these are socket only, meaning you must bring your own cable. The current operational status of the charging points is not reported.
This 7 kW charger is best suited for local top-ups rather than quick road-trip stops. To put 7 kW into context, it will add roughly 20-25 miles of range per hour of charging, depending on your vehicle. If your EV has a 60 kWh battery, a full charge from empty could take around 8.5 hours. This is a practical option for residents or those with time to spare while in the area.
