Store Category: un-hitch
Have to unhitch the van to charge. But able to park the van reasonably close to the chargers.
GRIDSERVE Charging Station, Burton (N)
Burton in Kendal is good. You can park with van on the first car park on the left, unhitch, and then go to main car park to charge.
There are some older 50kw chargers if you want to stay a while and newer 150kw as well.
Easy to get back to van without going the wrong way around the car park. (When I get a chance, I’ll add a diagram to show the directions)

GRIDSERVE Charging Station, St Austell
Can park caravan in the caravan area and go to charge or if quiet would be possible to leave caravan near chargers.
Might be able to park on road on end with caravan still hitched. (can someone confirm this for me?)

- 1x CCS 30 kW
Be.EV Charging Station, Carlisle
A bit off the motorway (5mins) but easier place to either stay hooked up or park the van in the same place as the chargers.
Be EV or chargeplace Scotland. Located in the same car park as the car wash on the side of the A6.

IONITY Charging Station – Stafford
Big premier inn and pub car park where you can drop the van whilst charging.
Starbucks and the pub for refreshments.

- 6x CCS 350 kW
Hamilton Fastned charger
Hamilton Fastned charger just off the motorway before glasgow.
End bay is double length so you can leave hitched but there also is place to unhitch if need be.
Close to Asda, McDonald’s, KFC.
- 8x CCS 300kW
Banbury Instavolt
A huge site with 32 chargers.
If visiting at a quiet time then possibility there may be so many available chargers that you can charge without unhitching by pulling alongside a row of chargers.
If busier then you need to unhitch into one of the just 2 non-charging spaces, or otherwise, it’s leaving the caravan on the access roads – while they are quiet and it won’t be an obstruction but they do have double yellow lines everywhere!
Blyth Services, A1
Unhitch at the truck/caravan car park.
Walking distance to the chargers.
Gridserve Charging Station. 10x 350 kW CCS, 1x 40 kW CCS.
M4 Swansea services
Unhitch at the dedicated caravan parking (follow lorry parking signs, but then don’t turn into lorry parking and round the next bend is the dedicated caravan parking bays).
This services allows easy access back and from the car park to caravan and lorry areas, no one-way systems to get stuck in.
6 x 350Kwh Gridserve chargers at the far corner of the main services car park.
