One of the issues that came out of the 2018 village survey, was the need for residents to have access to reliable electric vehicle charging points. 

Many properties do not have access to off road parking to charge an electric vehicle. In recognition of this, with funding from the Office Of Low Emission Vehicles, Ryedale District Council, Project Purple and the support of Hovingham & Scackleton Parish Council and the Village Hall, a double 32amp Electric Vehicle charger was installed on the 10th March 2020 in the Village Hall car park. This will charge a typical electric car, at the rate of 25mile per hours charge.

The Charger is supplier by BP Chargemaster and is part of their Polar Network. Access is via RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) card. BP Chargemaster rates per kWh apply.
