Erwin Hymer Centre Travelworld installs 12 EV charging points

Staffordshire-based dealer Erwin Hymer Centre Travelworld has installed 12 EV charging points at its premises just off junction 14 of the M6.

The dealer stocks new and used ‘vans from some of the best motorhome makes, including Dethleffs, Hymer and Laika.

Four of the points are available for customer use via the Monta app. The others are being used by staff benefiting from the company’s fleet of electric and hybrid vehicles.

This latest development at the dealership follows initiatives such as a 100% renewable wood pellet burning system, solar panels, LED lighting and motion sensors, and more.

Erwin Hymer Centre Travelworld Operations Director Erik Baxendale says: “The investment in electric vehicle charging points aligns with our values to reduce our environmental footprint. This is a long-term investment that will have a positive and sustainable impact on our carbon footprint and overall utility costs for years to come.”

Nick’s first caravanning memory is his younger brother falling out of the bunk bed above him. That was over half a century ago. Around a decade later, his first driving experience was taking the family campervan across a field on his uncle’s farm. He’s now well into his fourth decade as a journalist specialising across the whole leisure vehicle sector. In that time, he’s worked for a wide variety of publications, testing literally thousands of vehicles and visiting almost as many different places throughout the UK, Europe and even beyond. These days, he’s never happier than when he’s out reviewing new or pre-owned motorhomes or researching and writing touring articles for Practical Motorhome. Or, failing that, you may well find him pitching near you in his latest campervan, a Volkswagen California (more often than not with his short, suffering partner, Lin, and crazy sprocker spaniel, Bonnie).
