RAW Charging, the UK’s leading electric vehicle (EV) chargepoint operator for the leisure, hospitality and retail sectors, has launched a new EV charging hub at Charlton Riverside in Southeast London, SE7 7ST.
Highlights
- 28 EV charging bays, including 12 50kW DC rapid charging bays and 16 22kW AC fast charging bays, designed to meet a range of driver needs.
- Located near London City Airport and key retail and leisure destinations including Sainsbury’s, M&S, Boots, Decathlon and PureGym.
- Supports London’s net zero ambitions by expanding access to reliable EV charging for local communities and visitors.
- RAW has been actively expanding charging capacity across East and South East London, with ultra-rapid hubs now open at Eastern Avenue Retail Park, Gallions Reach Shopping Park, Merrielands Retail Park and Forest Hill – together delivering over 65 charging bays.
RAW Charging’s new hub at Charlton Riverside is designed to support shoppers, gym members and commuters alike. The site makes it easier for EV drivers to recharge while using nearby amenities, with a mix of rapid and fast chargers offering flexibility for shorter stops and longer visits.
Supporting London’s transition to sustainable travel
With one in three new vehicles sold in the UK now electric or hybrid, accessible EV charging infrastructure is increasingly important to support the capital’s net zero ambitions. The Charlton Riverside hub contributes to this transition by adding charging capacity in a location used by both local communities and visitors to London City Airport.
