Revive charging network

Revive is a publicly owned EV charging network created to meet the needs of the West of England.

Backed and owned by the four West of England local authorities, using in depth local knowledge and direct feedback from residents, the Revive network has been created to meet the public charging needs of the region.

Revive offers a mix of 50kW rapid chargers, together with 7kW and 22kW fast chargers. A 50kW rapid charger will give you around 50 miles worth of range in approximately 17 minutes, allowing you to top up and get going in the time it takes for a coffee break. Fast chargers are more suited to where you would park for a few hours, such as for shopping or whilst you are at work, or even overnight.

About Revive

Revive is a network of public electric vehicle (EV) charge points located in the West of England and created by the local authorities of Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset, and North Somerset. Using funding from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, over 240 charging bays have been installed since 2019, including four Rapid EV charging hubs.

Revive has been designed to be a reliable, easy to access network that will grow. Charge points are supplied and maintained by international experts Yunex Traffic, and operates on the same system as the national GeniePoint public charging network, meaning that users can also access GeniePoint chargers and vice versa.
