Top EV Charging Spots in the UK for Your Summer Road Trip

The Electric Car Scheme highlights the UK’s most scenic spots for EV owners to enjoy a pit stop this summer, with Jubilee Pool in Penzance and Lake Windermere among the top choices for a summer road trip and charging.

As the summer driving season heats up, The Electric Car Scheme is spotlighting some of the UK’s best locations for EV owners to recharge and enjoy a scenic day out.

For those seeking a refreshing swim at the end of a drive, Jubilee Pool in Penzance is a must-visit. This Art Deco Lido, established in 1935, is beautifully located and features a café and bar offering a range of food and drinks. Penzance has several public charging sites, with the Harbour Long Stay Car Park conveniently close by.

For journeys through the Cotswolds, few towns are as charming as Stow-on-the-Wold. Known for its quaint tea rooms, bakeries, and other pleasant stops, the town is also home to a 600-year-old church with a door flanked by ancient yew trees. Despite its rustic appearance, the town has two EV charging spots at The Stag and the local Tesco.

If you’re travelling to Scotland, Bamburgh Castle offers breathtaking views, especially on a clear day. Perched on a hill overlooking the North Sea and accessible from the A1, it’s a great spot to stretch your legs. The Link Road Car Park nearby provides EV chargers.

Ross-on-Wye, in the Wye Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is an ideal stop with two charging spots. The area also features ultra-fast chargers at the Old Court Hotel, a short walk to Symonds Yat, which offers some of the best valley views.

For those looking for an active stop, Windermere and Lake Windermere offer wild swimming, kayaking, windsurfing, and sailing, along with beautiful views and hiking trails. Located in the heart of the Lake District, Windermere town features four Ultra-rapid chargers at E H Booths, with additional chargers in the area.

The Electric Car Scheme CEO and Co-Founder Thom Groot commented: “The availability of public chargers, and especially those that can deliver a full charge in just an hour or two, has made long drives and family trips in an EV increasingly straightforward. As this list shows, these stops do not have to be confined to the usual service station but can be a destination as well as a brief pause in the journey.

“Over the past few years, prospective EV owners have become less concerned with range anxiety, as battery technology has improved, and the availability of public chargers has increased. The main concern is, instead, affordability, which was the biggest barrier for 68% of Brits, way out in front of any concerns around range, reliability or resale value. This is why we started The Electric Car Scheme, to make EVs more affordable and help increase uptake ahead of the coming phase-out of traditional cars.”
