A new contract will see RAW Charging install electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints across National Trust sites in what the EV charging solutions provider says is one of its largest projects.
Over the next three years, RAW will install AC destination chargers for visitors wanting to charge their vehicles for half a day and DC rapid charging hubs. The latter will be installed in a small number of destinations where the visit time is sorter than standard.
RAW will invest up to £12 million in the project.
“We are committed to working for a healthier and more beautiful natural environment as the land and properties in our care face their biggest threat from climate change,” said Edward Wood, head of Facilities Management at the National Trust.
“Much of what we look after is rural and reducing the carbon footprint of everyone who travels to our places will be critical to us being able to achieve our climate goals, including to be carbon net-zero by 2030. Installing EV charging points across our nationwide portfolio of places will help build the infrastructure needed to support the transition away from petrol and diesel and support us to fulfil our charitable purpose of caring for special places for everyone, forever.”
CEO if RAW Charging, Bruce Galliford added: “We’re looking forward to working with the National Trust to roll out EV charging across their places in the UK.”
“This is one of the largest schemes we have worked on, and we are investing over £12 million in the sites as we continue to deliver reliable and affordable EV charging across the UK.”
Last month, RAW installed one of the largest EV charging hubs in the UK – 29 dual chargers at Brent Cross shopping centre.
