RAW Charging has launched a 32-point EV charging hub at RHS Garden Wisley near M25 Junction 10, comprising eight 50 kW chargers and 24 22 kW chargers. The operator is offering free charging from 24 to 28 August through its RAW Rewards programme to mark the opening. The site forms part of a wider partnership that will see 90 charge points installed across five RHS gardens in total.
Why it matters: The deployment demonstrates how destination charging at high-footfall leisure sites is expanding UK public infrastructure, with the multi-garden rollout offering a template for CPOs targeting visitor attractions. The mix of rapid and fast AC chargers reflects dwell-time optimisation for garden visitors, typically staying several hours.
RAW Charging has launched a 28 bay charging hub at Charlton Riverside in Southeast London, comprising 12 50kW DC rapid chargers and 16 22kW AC fast chargers. The site is located near London City Airport and retail destinations including Sainsbury's, M&S, Boots, Decathlon and PureGym. RAW has now deployed over 65 charging bays across East and Southeast London through hubs at Eastern Avenue Retail Park, Gallions Reach Shopping Park, Merrielands Retail Park and Forest Hill.
Why it matters: The deployment demonstrates RAW Charging's continued focus on retail and leisure anchor sites, a model that offers predictable footfall and dwell time for charge point operators. The mix of 50kW DC and 22kW AC units reflects a strategy to serve both rapid top up and longer stay use cases at a single location.
