Charging at Norton Canes
Norton Canes services (on the mainline between T6 and T7, inside Zone B) has rapid EV chargers, operated by Roadchef and charge-point networks. Useful for a top-up on long journeys north or south. The operator lists access from both carriageways of the toll and no other way in, so a charge stop means staying on the road rather than leaving at a junction and rejoining. The toll fee is separate from the EV charging fee.
On a London-to-Manchester EV run, a short top-up at Norton Canes adds around 100 to 150 miles of range in 15 to 20 minutes on a 150 kW charger. Cost varies by network; budget around 75 to 85 pence per kWh in 2026.
