While searching on zapmap and other CP website, I see that there are not many public charge points in Cumbria. We are awaiting the arrival of our Renault Zoe. So while searching on the web for charging point in Cumbria I found several news articles saying that Cumbria County Council have won a government grant exceeding £500,000 and that they would be installed by the end of 2014. So having not seen any in the local area, I contacted the council and was informed that the council had not accepted the grant yet and only have until the end of this year to do so.
So will they or wont they make it easier for EV drivers to visit Cumbria or will they say it’s not for them? Well we will have to wait and see!!I live in Liverpool and my wife and I were going to Cumbria for a weekend. Due to the lack of charging we had to use the family ICE car.
I worked out I could get there but would be about 20 miles short of a charging point to get back. Slightly frustrating the lack of charging in the whole of the north west (Manchester excepted).There are quite a lot of guest houses and hotels that have charging points, but are not on any of the maps. If you are booking some where in the lakes, suppose you could always ask tourist information office to places to stay that have a CP
Thought I’d add to an older thread rather than start a new one…
Was at Tebay services North today and came acroos two brand new shiny Ecotricity CPs and a smart new sub-station next to them. Had a look at their website and all it says is ‘planned’. I’ll try and phone them in the morning to see if they know when? Will be useful on the M6 to fill a hole between Burton in Kendal and Southwaite (not including Rheged as that’s only 8:30am-5:30pm).
Great news, agreed that fills a significant gap on the M6 nicely 🙂
