The Club Company is proud to have installed new Electric Vehicle charging points at several sites in spring 2023. The partnership with EVC will eventually see around 300 charging points in total installed across all 15 clubs.
This development means that members and visitors with electric vehicles now able to charge them onsite during their visit for maximum convenience, eliminating range anxiety and ensuring they return from their visit to a full battery.
The sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans will be banned from 2030 onwards in the UK, so this move reflects the need to innovate and evolve to prepare for the future shift to electric vehicles.
Mark Warne, Group Operations & Estate Director at The Club Company said: “We are always looking for new ways to improve our member experience and our partnership with EVC will bring a new level of convenience whilst supporting our broader ESG commitments. We’re excited to see our members take advantage of our new EV charging facilities and we are proud to be doing our part to help protect the environment”.
This is the first of many great changes as part of the company’s group-wide Environmental, Social and Governance strategy, which is committed to reducing our carbon emissions by 40% by 2030 with a goal of net zero emissions by 2040.
EVC’s Nick Ballamy commented; "EVC is delighted to partner with The Club Company to help future-proof their golf courses by installing EV charging across their portfolio of sites. This partnership not only showcases The Club Company's forward-thinking approach to sustainability, but also helps improve their overall member experience.
