RHUG ESTATE has introduced two charging points for electric cars.

They have been introduced in line with the sustainable living ethos of the farm and its shop, located near Corwen.

Lord Newborough, the owner of the Estate, has had two charging points for electric cars installed in the Farm Shop and Takeaway carpark.

Customers can now use the 7KW POD point EV charger, which is able to charge two cars at once.

Lord Newborough said: “Rhug Estate is all about sustainable farming and the generation of green energy. We actually generate the electricity for the car charge points through the solar panels which are in the field behind the Farm Shop when the weather is favourable.

“Green energy and carbon saving are something I am passionate about at the Rhug where our core business is organic farming. We have tried wherever possible to embrace what natural resources we have on this highly sustainable Estate. Our green energy comes from wind, geothermal, hydro and solar energy which brings in enormous carbon savings.”

Visitors with electric cars that want to use the charge points need to download the mobile phone app called ‘POD Point Open Charge’, which can be downloaded using the free wi-fi available on site. The charge points can be used 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
