Visiting Richmond with an electric car? Update.

More and more four-wheeled visitors to Richmond are gliding silently into town in electric cars. Silently and fumelessly, which is good news for anyone who's sat in a diesel fug on Pottergate while waiting for the lights.

But as we reported in January, the not-so-good news is that there are no public chargers in Richmond itself. We hope that will change by Easter, when the final connections are due to be made for four chargers in Nun's Close car park. Fingers crossed.

Meanwhile, you can find rapid and 'fast' chargers at the Tesco in Catterick Garrison (2 miles from Richmond) and at Scotch Corner (3 miles). More chargers and more info can be found through the Electric car charging item on our Useful links page.
