Chelsea leads the Premier League for EV infrastructure with over 1,000 EV charging points within two miles of Stamford Bridge, according to new research by cinch, the UK’s biggest online used car retailer.
As the 2025/26 Premier League season kicks off, the new study analysed cinchCharge data to find out the number, speed and efficiency of EV charging points near each Premier League team’s stadium.
Premier League Clubs with the Most EV Charging Points Nearby
1 – Chelsea – 1,012 charging points
2 – Fulham – 825
3 – Brentford – 618
4 – Arsenal – 602
5 – West Ham – 468
6 – Crystal Palace – 414
7 – Sunderland – 200
8 – Tottenham Hotspur – 200

Most Rapid Chargers Near Premier League Stadiums
Some clubs are closer to more rapid (50kW) and ultra-rapid (150kW) chargers than others – ideal for those who need some extra juice after a long away day.
1 – Fulham – 97 high-speed chargers (12% of total EV connectors)
2 – Manchester United – 92 (49% of total)
3 – Chelsea – 91 (9% of total)
4 – Arsenal – 71 (12% of total)
5 – Manchester City – 66 (34% of total)
6 – Brentford – 62 (10% of total)
7 – Aston Villa – 60 (57% of total)
8 – Newcastle United – 57 (63% of total)
9 – Bournemouth – 51 (53% of total)
10 – Crystal Palace – 48 (12% of total)
Fulham (97) and Manchester United (92) beat Chelsea (91) to the top spots for most rapid chargers.
Interestingly, Newcastle United only places eighth for total number of rapid chargers, but the 57 they do have makes up 63% of their total EV chargers – higher than any other club in the top 10.
Ben Welham, motoring expert at cinch, added, “It’s great to see the areas around Premier League stadiums having so many EV chargers ahead of the new season.
“The top 10 is quite London-centric for now, but with public charging infrastructure improving across the country we expect to see a more balanced picture in the years to come.
“Those rapid chargers will come in extra handy for those hoping to head straight home in their electric cars after a tough result for their team.”
94,000 Miles in 90 Minutes
To put into context how impressive the charging infrastructure near Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge is, those 1,012 chargers could theoretically provide enough charge for 94,000 miles of EV range during one 90-minute match. That’s 4x around the world.
For fans of numbers, that’s over 28,000 kWh of energy and the 94,000 miles is based on the industry-standard EV efficiency rate of 3.3 miles per kWh.
