The Peak District National Park has installed five new twin charging points, funded by BMW UK through its Recharge in Nature partnership with National Parks UK.
The new EV chargers are located at:
- Millers Dale Station
- Parsley Hay Bike Hire Centre & Car Park
- Moorland Visitor Centre at Edale
Millers Dale Station and Parsley Hay chargers will be available to the public, and those at Edale will serve guests of the Fieldhead Campsite at the Moorland Visitor Centre. Each EV charging point can charge two vehicles simultaneously.
“These are some of the busiest locations in the National Park, increasing the availability of EV charging options for both local communities and visitors,” said a statement.
To date, 36 chargers have been installed in National Parks across the UK, with chargers in all 15 of the National Parks set to be installed before the end of the three-year BMW partnership.
In total, the UK’s National Parks are visited over 100 million times each year with 93 per cent of these visits being made by car.
