The Rapid Hub facilities are designed to deliver ultra rapid EV charging to EV drivers. In England, over 60% of dwellings in cities and urban areas do not have garages or other off-road parking provisions, and so must rely on electricity from publicly accessible networks.
The initiative aims to support UK Commercial Property REIT’s and a commitments to reducing emissions, and with the UK committing to end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035 the initiative would also contribute to much-needed electric charging infrastructure.
RAW is a provider for destination charging for the hospitality, leisure, and retail sectors, partnered with a range of organisations such as McArthurGlen Designer Outlets, Merlin Entertainments, National Trust, and Greene King.
RAW also works with commercial property owners to develop brownfield land into EV Rapid Hubs. RAW currently operates Rapid Hubs throughout the UK including sites in Slough, Bishop Auckland and Croydon.
