Envision Racing are announcing a new partnership with RAW Charging, the leading electric vehicle (EV) chargepoint operator for the hospitality, leisure and retail sectors.
As part of the collaboration, RAW has installed three dual-port 22kW fast chargers at Envision Racing’s Silverstone headquarters, enabling six cars to charge simultaneously powering the team’s operations while showcasing RAW’s rapidly growing national network to EV drivers.
The 22kW chargers are designed with the end user in mind, enabling the Envision Racing team to charge simply and efficiently within a typical workday.
RAW’s business is built around destination charging, providing reliable charging at places where drivers naturally spend time, such as hotels, retail centres and leisure attractions. The model benefits both drivers, who recharge while they shop or relax – and venues, which see increased footfall and longer dwell times.
RAW’s network includes charging installations at major destinations such as:
- Landsec properties such as Xscape Milton Keynes and Parrs Wood, Manchester
- Merlin Entertainments sites including Warwick Castle, Thorpe Park, Chessington
World of Adventures, Alton Towers and LEGOLAND - Over 65 National Trust locations
- Multiple McArthurGlen retail destinations
- A broad portfolio of hotels and leisure venues
Jason Simpson, CEO of RAW Charging, said: “Formula E is the future of racing, demonstrating technical expertise with a fan centric approach. RAW’s ambitions align with this exciting sport, wanting to create a modern and customer focused charging offering.”
“Whether it’s a family trips to Alton Towers, a day out at a National Trust property or a guest staying at a hotel, convenient charging keeps people moving while supporting the energy transition.”
As part of the partnership, Envision Racing will provide brand visibility and awareness across its fanbase and channels, helping more drivers discover where to access RAW chargers through the company’s online driver map, which allows users to filter charging locations by destination type.
Sylvain Filippi, Managing Director & CTO at Envision Racing, commented: “RAW’s destination-charging network aligns perfectly with our mission to accelerate the transition to clean mobility.
Their chargers at our Silverstone base support our daily operations while giving our fans and wider EV drivers clear visibility of an accessible nationwide network. We’re proud to partner with a company that is enabling the shift to electric transport through smart, convenient charging infrastructure.”
RAW’s chargers are now fully operational at Envision Racing’s Silverstone facility for staff and visitors, further strengthening the team’s commitment to sustainability both on and off the track.
