Visitors to the Giant’s Causeway now able to enjoy a more sustainable journey to the UNESCO World Heritage site following the introduction of four new EV chargers.
The facility has been installed through an ongoing partnership between the National Trust and Raw Charging.
By introducing four Type 2, 22kW AC chargers at the Causeway, the Trust is making it easier than ever for visitors to explore the 40,000 basalt columns.
The bays, installed and operated by Raw Charging, feature a user-first design with protection bollards spaced wider to ensure interfaces are easy to reach for all visitors.
Following the successful rollout at other heritage locations, this installation is part of a broader programme that will see more than 300 additional bays introduced in the coming months.
Future sites including Lacock Abbey, Felbrigg Hall and Hidcote are set to receive similar bespoke installations, each tailored to protect the character of the historic environment while providing modern convenience.
Jason Simpson, CEO of Raw Charging, said, “The Giant’s Causeway is yet another popular destination where we’re proud to introduce best-in-class EV infrastructure.
“This investment goes beyond infrastructure; it is about connecting amazing places and supporting the UK’s transition to cleaner, greener transport.
“Expanding charging across more locations is an important step in making sustainable travel easier and more accessible for EV motorists.
“It is equally important that this essential infrastructure is delivered in a way that is sensitive to the unique character of each site.
“That way, EV owners can enjoy the convenience of modern charging facilities without compromising the scenic environment they have purposely come to experience.”
