Lakeside (part of Capital Shopping Centres) has joined forces with Elektromotive and EDF Energy to support electric vehicle drivers by offering car chargers in the car parks of the shopping centre.
With support from the Energy Saving Trust this new venture is the first of its kind to be launched nationally and CSC is leading the way by offering this facility free of charge within shopping centre car parks. Customers will be able to recharge their electric or plug-in hybrid cars during the course of a normal shopping trip.
The charging points are easy to find and simple to use, with recharging cables and access keys free to hire direct from Lakeside's Shopmobility service on Level 1 by the entrance of Car Park Blue. An electronic key communicates by wireless to the recharger unit. When a valid key is read the weather-proof access panel automatically opens where the recharging lead from the vehicle can be inserted. Upon closing the access panel, it locks securely and power is turned on to supply 240 volts AC at 13 amps.
