Recent Department for Transport figures showed that Yorkshire and the Humber was the worst-served UK mainland region per 100,000 of the population for the number of electric charging points available.
Aaron Foulds from Keighley also recently had a charging channel installed.
He said that he was paying more than the equivalent fuel cost to travel to and use public charging facilities.
He drives an electric car in part because he suffers from asthma.
"Driving an electric vehicle helps reduce exhaust fumes," he said.
"Now that I can charge at home, it's also much more convenient and cheaper than using public chargers."
Estimates suggest that on the basis of some overnight tariffs for domestic electricity, a full charge can cost less than £5, compared with around £30 for using a public charge point.
Campaigners have highlighted the prohibitive costs of public charging points as a major factor in slowing the take-up of electric vehicles, and have called for improvements to home charging in urban areas where there are fewer properties with private driveways.
In Bradford, the council has pledged to install 1,000 new charging points in 230 locations by 2027.
Residents can check their eligibility for the scheme and apply through the authority's website.
