World EV Day: Leeds charging specialist to offer free charging across network

Electric vehicle charging solutions and infrastructure specialist RAW Charging is celebrating World EV day by offering drivers the opportunity to charge for free across the network on Friday, September 9.

Leeds based RAW’s charging network which includes popular sites such as McArthurGlen outlet in York and Cheshire Oaks, Greene King pubs across the UK and the Slough Charge Yard will all offer free charging for drivers throughout the day.

Free charging will begin at 12:01am on September 9 and normal fees will resume at 23:59 on the same day. There will be a mix of fast AC and DC Ultra Rapid chargers available for customers to use across RAW’s sites in the UK and the free charging will be available through the ChargePoint app or by using an RFID card.

As energy prices increase across the UK, RAW wants to celebrate World EV Day by giving all drivers the chance to charge up for free across the UK. With an estimated 45 per cent of drivers needing to charge their EV’s away from home, RAW emphasises the “importance of destination charging, offering some of the lowest charging costs in the industry”.

As a “driver friendly” network, RAW continues to work with businesses across the UK to deliver destination charging to help aid the transition to EVs ahead of the government ban of new diesel and petrol cars in 2030.

RAW has recently launched charging facilities at the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet York and has announced plans for a new ChargeYard in Oxford as part of a sponsorship with Oxford City Football Club.

RAW has also launched the Charge Yard facility in Slough and is exclusively working with Greene King to install EV Charging across their sites in the UK. RAW works with a variety of businesses looking to offer EV charging and looks to continue delivering destination charging across the UK and Europe.

Bruce Galliford, CEO, RAW Charging, commented: “We’d like to celebrate World EV Day by giving back to the EV drivers of the UK. We try and keep our charging rates down across the UK and we’d like to thank our customers by offering free AC and DC charging on 9 September 2022.

“We look forward to continuing our rollout of destination charging across the UK and Europe to help aide the transition to EVs.”
