Legoland Windsor Resort now has a bank of EV chargers available for visitors to use, ready in time for the start of the 2024 season.

This includes 24 charging bays at the theme park, including two priority use bays. There are also 10 bays at the guest hotel next to the theme park and four bays in the Legoland staff car park.

This is the first of Raw’s installations for Merlin Entertainments – chargers will also be installed at Merlin’s top attractions including Chessington World of Adventures Resort and Warwick Castle.

The work is part of Raw’s wider mission to promote eco-friendly transportation options and enhance the guest experience across hospitality and leisure destinations.

It’s working with some of the leading companies in the hospitality, leisure and retail sectors and deployed chargers at sites as varied as National Trust places, McArthurGlen Designer Outlets and Bespoke Hotels in 2023.

Jason Simpson, CEO of Raw Charging, said: “At Raw we are totally focused on the guest experience. These installations reflect our dedication to providing seamless charging solutions for EV drivers, ensuring they can enjoy their visit to Legoland with peace of mind. We are starting work at other Merlin sites around the country to give EV drivers a fantastic experience at all these attractions.”

Helen Bull, divisional director for Legoland Windsor Resort, said: “We are excited about our partnership with Raw Charging, which aligns perfectly with our commitment to environmental stewardship and enhances the visitor experience at Legoland.”

Research carried out by the RAC in autumn 2023 found that only five of the UK’s biggest theme and adventure parks offered electric vehicle charging facilities at the time. It warned that EV drivers would be reliant on ultra-rapid chargers to get on the move again as quickly as possible.
