RAW Charging installs EV charging points at Leicester pub

RAW Charging has expanded its electric vehicle charging network by installing charging points at one of Greene King’s Leicester venues.

The pub chain partnered with RAW Charging, one of the UK’s leading EV charging solution providers, to install charging points at The Heathley Park Pub & Grill in Groby Rd, Leicester.

Three AC units have been fitted which will provide space for up to six EVs to charge at one time. The AC charging points will provide customers and local residents with an easy and convenient charging solution while offering some of the lowest fees across the industry.

Drivers are given the option to pay to charge through contactless debit and credit cards, a mobile app, or RFID cards.

Last year RAW Charging announced a partnership with Greene King to deliver charging infrastructure at sites across the UK. Through a host ownership model, RAW Charging funds, installs and manages the ongoing support of all charging points to cater to the charging needs of visitors to Greene King venues.

Bruce Galliford, RAW Charging CEO said: “The launch of our charging facilities at Heathley Park Pub & Grill in Leicester is the latest in our roll-out of EV charging solutions across the Greene King UK portfolio. Heathley Park Pub & Grill is a great venue in the heart of the community. The site is in a convenient location for motorists and the EV charging solutions will benefit guests of the venue, and I’m sure, local residents.

“There is a growing demand for motorists to charge their EVs while they’re away from home and on the go. Through partnerships like the one we have with Greene King, we are paving the way for market leading destination charging across the UK.

“As part of our commitment to helping the UK achieve a net zero emissions future, we hope by increasing the availability of charging points in the UK it will make clean motoring more accessible, encourage more people to embrace EVs and ultimately help the country become carbon net zero.”

RAW Charging is one of the UK’s largest charging solutions experts. Based in Yorkshire and London it provides motorists with a driver friendly network of charging points around the UK and Europe.

It is committed to providing EV charging as a community service to encourage more motorists to make the switch to electric vehicles ahead of the government ban on the production and sale of new diesel and petrol vehicles in 2030.
