RHS Garden Harlow Carr unveils new electric vehicle chargers

The garden, in Harrogate, which has launched a new on-site charging facility, is offering free charging from June 2 to June 4.

The scheme is part of a partnership with RAW Charging, and the offer is available through the RAW Rewards programme.

Malcolm Anderson, head of sustainability at RHS, said: “RHS Garden Harlow Carr is a vital part of our garden network, and this major new charging facility exemplifies our ambitions to make sustainable travel easier and more accessible for our visitors in the north and across the UK.

“By enabling EV charging on-site, we are not only supporting lower carbon travel but also enhancing the experience for our environmentally conscious guests who want to enjoy the gardens with peace of mind.”

The site features 16 charging bays, including four rapid chargers (up to 50kW) and 12 fast chargers (up to 22kW).

The project supports the RHS’ wider plan to install 90 charging bays across its five UK gardens.

Standard contactless payment will be available for future use, but the launch-week offer requires visitors to register for RAW Rewards.
