RAW Charging has announced the successful installation and electrification of eight ultra-rapid 300kW EV chargers at Brotherhood Shopping Park in Peterborough, owned by abrdn plc.
Brotherhood Shopping Park is a prime shopping destination where visitors can enjoy a complete retail experience while charging their vehicles.
RAW is delighted to offer a free charging week at the new hub from Wednesday the 4th to Wednesday 11th of December, to ensure drivers can experience the convenience of ultra-rapid charging while receiving real-time customer feedback. The initiative supports festive shoppers, making the busy Christmas season more sustainable and stress-free. The first 50 EV drivers to charge their vehicles can also grab a complimentary coffee and cake at Costa.
This installation marks another milestone in RAW’s growing collaboration with abrdn. This shared commitment to enhancing destination charging aligns with RAW’s mission to make EV charging faster, more accessible, and more convenient for retail customers.
This year, RAW Charging has continued its expansion with key developments for McArthurGlen and has installed chargers at premier retail sites, including Junction 27 and major attraction sites for Merlin Entertainments such as LEGOLAND® Windsor and Alton Towers.
RAW also collaborates with commercial property owners, transforming underutilized brownfield sites into high-performing rapid hubs across the UK, including sites in Leeds, Slough, Bishop Auckland, Croydon, and St George’s Park.
“Our new Rapid Hub at Brotherhood Shopping Park is a fantastic addition to RAW’s growing network of ultra-rapid charging sites," said Jason Simpson, CEO, RAW Charging.
"This premier retail location offers both convenience and a top-tier shopping experience, making it the perfect spot for EV drivers to recharge while they shop or grab a coffee whilst charging en route.
"We’re excited to celebrate this launch with a week of free charging and to further strengthen our partnership with abrdn.”
RAW charging shares a live data partnership with Zapmap, meaning that the users of the Zapmap app and web map are able to view live status and availability information of all RAW Charging points at any time, making planning for charging even easier.
“We are thrilled to partner with Raw Charging to enhance the EV infrastructure at Brotherhood Shopping Park. The installation of eight ultra-rapid EV chargers will significantly boost access to public charging in Peterborough, providing local residents, businesses, and visitors with reliable and convenient charging solutions," said Phil Huby, Head of Retail Parks, abrdn.
" This initiative supports our commitment to sustainability and underscores our role in fostering a greener future for the community.”
