Public electric car charging comes to Richmond

And about blooming time, you might say. Well, quite. Problem is, there's so much demand on the utility companies that they can't keep up.

Anyway, the good news for visiting EV drivers is that Nun's Close car park in the centre of Richmond now has four lovely new 22 kW chargers. You don't need an app (hooray!) because they will simply work with the tap of your credit/debit card. The price is £0.40 per kWh, which seems pretty reasonable, but don't forget to buy a parking ticket as well!

If 22 kW isn't enough for you, the nearest rapid chargers are at Catterick Garrison, Colburn and Scotch Corner, all three or four miles away. See 'Electric car charging' on our Useful links page.
