Park, Plug, and Play: Hassle-Free EV Charging at Diggerland UK

Posted on by Lauren Crosby

At Diggerland UK, we pride ourselves on providing unforgettable days out for families, thrill-seekers, and digger enthusiasts alike. But did you know we also cater to the growing number of electric vehicle (EV) drivers across the country? That’s right! Diggerland is proud to offer free EV charging at all of our UK parks, making your visit even more convenient and eco-friendly.

Hassle-Free EV Charging at All Diggerland Parks

Whether you’re visiting Diggerland Kent, Yorkshire, Durham, or Devon, you can park your electric vehicle and plug in at one of our designated EV charging stations, completely free of charge. It’s just one of the ways we’re making your family day out as hassle-free as possible.

We understand the importance of convenience, especially for families with young children. No one wants to worry about where to charge their car while enjoying a fun-filled day at the park. With Diggerland’s free EV charging, simply park up, plug in, and play, it’s as easy as that!

How It Works

Charging your electric vehicle at Diggerland is simple. Upon arrival, ask a member of staff to direct you to the EV charging bays if you’ve not already located them. Our charging stations are easily accessible and well-marked. Plug your vehicle in and head off to explore the park with complete peace of mind. By the time you’re ready to leave, your EV will be charged and ready for the journey home.

There’s no need to register in advance, and no hidden fees. We believe that sustainable travel should be supported, and offering free EV charging is just one of the ways we’re doing our part.

A Partnership with EVision Electric Vehicles

In addition to our EV charging facilities, Diggerland has partnered with EVision Electric Vehicles, a leading UK-based electric vehicle hire company. Whether you’re considering making the switch to electric or simply need a vehicle for the weekend, EVision offers a wide range of fully electric cars and vans available to hire.

Better yet, you can collect your EV hire vehicle directly from any of our Diggerland locations. That means you can combine your Diggerland adventure with the chance to test drive an electric vehicle, perfect for those thinking of going green but not quite ready to commit.

EVision’s fleet includes top models such as the Tesla Model 3, BMW i3, Renault Kangoo Van, Kia EV6, and many more. Each vehicle is charged and cleaned before collection, ensuring a smooth, high-quality experience.

Why Make the Switch to Electric?

If you’re not yet driving electric, you might be wondering what all the fuss is about. Here are just a few reasons why more and more UK drivers are making the switch:

  1. Lower Running Costs: Electric vehicles are far cheaper to run than traditional petrol or diesel cars. Charging an EV costs significantly less per mile, especially when using free public chargers like those at Diggerland.
  2. Environmentally Friendly: EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, making them much kinder to the environment. Driving electric means you’re contributing to cleaner air and a reduction in greenhouse gases.
  3. Government Incentives: The UK government offers a range of incentives for EV drivers, including lower road tax, congestion charge exemptions, and grants for home charging installation.
  4. Quiet and Smooth Driving Experience: If you’ve never driven an electric car before, you’ll be surprised by how quiet and smooth the ride is. No noisy engines, no gear changes, just seamless acceleration and a calm driving experience.
  5. Future-Proofing: As the UK moves towards banning the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035, switching to an EV now puts you ahead of the curve.

Sustainable Days Out at Diggerland

At Diggerland, we’re committed to improving our environmental impact wherever we can. From responsible waste management practices to reducing single-use plastics, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Our EV chargers are just one of the ways we’re supporting eco-conscious travel.

We also encourage our visitors to think green. Whether that means carpooling to the park, using public transport where possible, or hiring an EV from EVision for your trip, every small step helps.
