Charge for free this World EV Day at Polesden Lacey, Hatchlands Park, Thorpe Park and Claremont Landscape Garden
This World EV Day drivers will be able to charge their EVs for free at a range of destinations across Surrey, including Polesden Lacey, Hatchlands Park, Thorpe Park and Claremont Landscape Garden.
The free charging comes as RAW Charging celebrates World EV Day (Tuesday, September 9) with free charging at destinations across its UK network.
One of the Surrey destinations offering free charging is Polesden Lacey estate, offering a natural play area complete with swinging tunnels and giant nests.
Nature lovers can visit Claremont Landscape Gardens, also in Surrey, to see one of the earliest surviving examples of the English Landscape Garden style and the impressive three-acre turf amphitheatre.
Hatchlands Park will also offer free charging for the day, as will Thorpe Park, where drivers could ride the UK's tallest and fastest roller coaster while they charge.
The full list of destinations is available here, and includes over 180 Greene King sites, five Merlin Entertainments locations, 30 National Trust spots and seven McArthurGlen outlets.
Jason Simpson, CEO of RAW Charging, the leading destination EV charge point provider for hospitality, leisure and retail destinations across the UK and Europe, said: “The growing network of EV chargers across the UK means that drivers no longer have to worry about range anxiety or whether they’ll be able to get home.
“With so many more options available for charging, you can now enjoy your journey and make the most of every stop. Whether you're exploring family-friendly attractions, enjoying scenic hikes, or shopping till you drop, there are now countless exciting activities to do while your EV charges, making your trip even more enjoyable.
“And, this World EV Day you can even charge for free.”
To continue with the World EV Day celebrations RAW Charging compiled a list of the most wonderful things people can do whilst powering up in the South East.
Making the new list are family favourite adventure locations, including LEGOLAND® Windsor, where visitors can see over 40 million LEGO bricks come to life, Thorpe Park, home to the Hyperia rollercoaster and Chessington World of Adventures Resort, where visitors can feed giraffes and get up close with penguins, meerkats or white rhinos in special encounters.
And for drivers looking to detox while they charge, the South Lodge spa in Sussex offers a chance to relax with a massage, thermal experience or treatment of choice.
