We’re thrilled to announce the installation of two brand-new EV charging posts, providing a total of four charging spaces here on our premises! This development marks a significant step in our commitment to sustainability, accessibility, and supporting our community.
Powered by Partnership
This project wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of Winchester City Council’s Rural England Prosperity Fund. Their investment in rural infrastructure has been instrumental in making this a reality. We’d also like to give a big shout-out to the team at Vanadium Technologies, based in Wimborne, who delivered and installed the units seamlessly.
Easy and Accessible Charging
We’ve partnered with Tap Electric, so customers can easily find and charge on-site via their user-friendly app. It’s as simple as parking, plugging in, and tapping to charge. Whether you’re staying with us, passing through, or stopping for a meal, charging your EV has never been easier.
Why We Installed EV Charging Bays
We’re passionate about the benefits this new addition will bring to our customers, community, and business. Here’s why we took this step:
- Boosting Tourism:
We want to encourage EV drivers to choose our self-catering accommodation, knowing they can charge their vehicles on-site. It’s one more reason to explore the beauty of our area and support local businesses. - Supporting Our Team:
Our team members considering a switch to electric vehicles now have the convenience of charging at work—a win-win for sustainability and practicality! - Prime Location:
Situated on the historic London Road (A33) between Winchester and Basingstoke, we’re perfectly positioned as an en-route charging stop. While charging, visitors can enjoy our pub and restaurant, making their stop a truly rewarding experience. - Serving the Local Community:
Many EV owners in rural settings face challenges charging at home. By offering a local charging option, we aim to support the growing EV community in our area.
A Huge Thank You!
We’d like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Camilla at Winchester City Council and Tom, Ash, and the entire Vanadium Technologies team. Their expertise, dedication, and friendly approach made the installation process an absolute pleasure.
