At our first Electric Vehicles Festival on Sunday 28th July 2019
We did something we think was a bit special.
Surprisingly it went relatively unnoticed.
We believe we were the first event in the UK to have the capability to charge 72 Electric Vehicles at the same time on site at our event.
We never needed to do it. But it was nice to know we could.
Rather interestingly many people did charge on the day at our first event and never noted the significance of what they were doing. Charging becomes a normal routine.
We really wanted to offer a venue that had plenty of charging to help assist everyone, unfortunately to take the event forward it was sadly not possible to find the right site that included charging capacity. After learning from our first four events when we had over 72 destination chargers available, most of these were not used. With many people pre-planning their journey to the event.
However we did consider the charging infrastructure in the surrounding area, including now some super hubs on route. With the network locally continuing to grow we are also wanting to partner up with a Public Charging Provider to help make the experience of travelling to the event an easy one.
Remember Pre-Plan your journey and maybe charge before the final short leg from the local motorway network or main A-roads on route to the EV Festival.
If the technology and event location allows, we hope one day to be able to provide some form of charging on site. But we want this to be environmentally right and not working from a diesel generator for an example.
