Overall Rating
Good
With the majority of electric vehicle charging points I have seen being quite inaccessible, I get disproportionately excited when some thoughts seems to have gone into the design of an EV charger. At first sight, these 2 bays with a terminal between them does not seem like much, but the rubber stoppers at the top of the bays leave enough space for a path along the top of the bays up to the terminal. There are no bollards or curbs obstructing wheelchair access and the touchscreen and card reader as well as the plugs are all low enough to access from a seated position. The up to 50kW CCS cables are included and their weight managed with support arms. What keeps this EV charging station from a five-star rating is that there is not quite enough protected space to allow wheelchair users to exit their cars when the parking spaces around them are taken. It helps that there is some protected space around the bays and plenty of other parking, so it is not likely to get busy. It might also be a little hard to find, although there is one small sign pointing you to the back of the parking lot. There is a row of Blue Badge parking along the side of the supermarket and the EV charging bays are past that row next to an InPost locker.
Accessible Toilets
There is an accessible bathroom in the Morrison's that does not need a RADAR key.
