Eight Easter trails with EV charging stations nearby

Eggcited for spring? So are we! We’ve rounded up eight great Easter family events for you and your family across the UK (just like our chargers). And we’ve also suggested nearby bp pulse chargers for each – hey, the Easter Bunny isn’t the only giver around here.

Tip: We recommend contacting each property in advance to double check availability, admission prices and opening times. And we’ve suggested nearby chargers, too. Although depending on where you’re coming from, you might find an even handier place to top up if you search through our app. You can use it to filter for chargers by useful features, like speed, connector type, and availability. Anyway, where were we? Oh yes. Chocolate at Easter time and time with your loved ones! Here we go:
