RAW Charging Completes Roll-Out of Electric Vehicle Chargers for McArthurGlen

RAW Charging is pleased to announce it has recently completed the roll-out of electric vehicle chargers for McArthurGlen in the UK and Europe.

Highlights

• To date RAW has installed 326 EV charging bays across the McArthurGlen portfolio in the UK and Europe.

• In the UK, RAW has commenced work at the final two sites, McArthurGlen Designer Outlets West Midlands and Swindon, installing 10 and 24 EV charging bays respectively.

• In Europe, RAW has recently completed three new sites in Italy at La Reggia, Castel Romano and Noventa, with a further installation in the pipeline at Serravalle.

  • Each site contains 20+ EV charging bays.

• This roll-out forms part of RAW’s commercial property strategy working with some of the largest landlords in the UK and Europe.

RAW’s installation of 382 EV chargers throughout the UK and Europe marks the completion of its largest retail park roll-out of chargers to date. With 1 in 3 new vehicles sold in the UK being electric, McArthurGlen and RAW’s investment will help keep drivers moving.

As part of the roll-out, RAW completed its largest ever site at Paris-Giverny where 144 22kW EV charging bays were installed for shoppers. This was the single largest roll-out of ChargePoint’s CP6000 AC charging solution. RAW anticipates that the final schemes, McArthurGlen Designer Outlet West Midlands, Swindon and Serravalle, will be completed by mid-2025.

Portfolio Development

To meet the increasing demand for electric vehicle charging, RAW is working with commercial property owners, such as Aviva Investors, SEGRO, Hammerson and aberdeen to develop brownfield land into ultra rapid EV charging hubs. RAW provides a turnkey solution for commercial property landlords who have parcels of land that are not being used to their full potential. On behalf of the landlords, RAW completes the planning, construction and delivery of the scheme turning land that is not being used to its full potential into a yielding asset within the property portfolio.

Alongside its work with some of the largest landlords in the UK, RAW works with some of the leading companies in the hospitality, leisure, and retail sectors. Over the course of 2024, RAW installed chargers at sites as varied as National Trust places, Bespoke Hotels and Merlin Entertainments parks.

Jason Simpson, CEO of RAW Charging, said:

"We are delighted to have completed the roll-out of EV chargers at McArthurGlen Designer Outlets in the UK and Europe. The work we have done demonstrates our dedication to providing a best-in-class EV charging experience to EV drivers who expect a high-quality service at a prestigious and quality brand like McArthurGlen. We will continue to deliver solutions for the UK’s largest landlords, delivering ultra-rapid EV charging across their portfolios throughout the country."

David Jackson, UK Facilities Lead, said

"We are proud to continue working with RAW and bringing sustainable EV charging solutions to our centres. This collaboration reflects our commitment to providing innovative services that meet the evolving needs of our guests, ensuring a seamless and eco-friendly experience for all who visit our centres."
