With the installation of 16 new EV charging bays, visitors can now enjoy everything the Retail Park has to offer while quickly charging their vehicles with confidence and convenience.
The Ravenside hub is one of many to come, as RAW Charging and Landsec embark on a nationwide rollout that will see over 1,000 new charging bays installed across 28 flagship retail and leisure destinations, including Bluewater, the largest retail destination EV charging hub in the UK, Gunwharf Quays, White Rose Shopping Centre, and Brighton Marina.
The rollout will continue at pace throughout 2026, with RAW and Landsec committed to upgrading legacy infrastructure and delivering the very best in EV charging technology for millions of visitors each year.
The 20-year partnership will also include a major replace and upgrade programme, modernising legacy charging infrastructure that no longer meets current standards for speed, reliability, or accessibility. These upgrades are expected to improve charge time, with some chargers charging a vehicle within a dwell time of 30 mins-1.5 hours, ensuring shoppers and retailers benefit from best-in-class EV charging technology and operational performance.
The network is fully accessible via contactless payment, with the Zapmap Charging Card, via the Zapmap app, ensuring a seamless experience for every visitor.

"We are thrilled to launch our first EV charging hub with Landsec at Ravenside Retail Park. Our roll-out of EV chargers with Landsec is nationally significant, adding 1,000 new bays across the country before 2027.
We are bringing reliable, rapid, and accessible charging to shoppers and look forward to welcoming drivers to Ravenside and to many more Landsec sites in the months ahead.”
