The opening of the Paris-Giverny McArthurGlen site marks the largest in RAW’s European portfolio to date. RAW specialises in providing convenient and cost effective EV charging to blue-chip destinations in the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure sectors. RAW’s other major clients include Merlin Entertainments, Greene King pubs, Bespoke hotels and National Trust alongside commercial property owners and developers to transform brownfield land into charging hubs such as the Charge Yard in Slough.

The 60 chargers installed are all 22kW and the site can charge 120 vehicles at once when at full capacity. The new facilities will allow visitors to charge their vehicle whilst shopping at the designer outlet which is just 45 minutes from Paris and offers 100 unique shops. RAW has already installed chargers at McArthurGlen sites in the UK in York and the East Midlands, providing EV charging to 34 bays across both sites.
