This World EV Day drivers will be able to charge their EVs for free at a range of destinations across Yorkshire, including at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden and York Designer Outlet.
The free charging comes as RAW Charging celebrates World EV Day (Tuesday, September 9) with free charging at destinations across its UK network.
Amongst the destinations offering free charging in Yorkshire is Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden, the ancient abbey ruins and awe-inspiring water garden, which is also a World Heritage Site.

Jason Simpson, CEO of RAW Charging, the leading destination EV charge point provider for hospitality, leisure and retail destinations across the UK and Europe, said: “The growing network of EV chargers across the UK means that drivers no longer have to worry about range anxiety or whether they’ll be able to get home.
“With so many more options available for charging, you can now enjoy your journey and make the most of every stop. Whether you're exploring family-friendly attractions, enjoying scenic hikes, or shopping till you drop, there are now countless exciting activities to do while your EV charges, making your trip even more enjoyable.
“And, this World EV Day you can even charge for free.”
To continue celebrations for World EV Day, RAW Charging compiled a list of the most wonderful things people can do whilst powering up in the North East.
Those with an eye for innovation can visit Cragside in Northumberland, Britain’s original smart home and a pioneering Arts and Crafts mansion filled with the latest Victorian inventions for efficient, modern living. Visitors can also take this opportunity to find out how William Armstrong managed to push water uphill.
Nature lovers can visit Gibside located in Tyne and Wyre, a haven for curious naturalists. Home to amphibian filled ponds, bats, badgers and otters in the river as well as red kites soaring overhead, roe deer and bugs galore. Crook Hall Gardens in Durham, also offers the chance to stop and get lost in the beautiful interlinked gardens and the garden maze.
In addition, families wanting to let off some steam can spin their legs and explore Wallington estate on the Dragon cycle trail, weaving through woodland, fields and admiring beautiful views across Northumberland.
