Leading electric vehicle (EV) charging company, EVC, has partnered with the UK's largest commercial horse racing organisation, The Jockey Club, to provide bespoke EV charging solutions at Warwick Racecourse.

The new partnership aims to provide both staff and visitors with convenient EV charging onsite, whilst "future-proofing the historic racecourse" and supporting its commitment to be carbon neutral by 2027.

EVC, which operates a nationwide charging network in the UK, will be installing well over 100 fast and rapid (22-150kW) charge points across The Jockey Club's 14 UK venues, with five EV chargers set to be installed at Warwick Racecourse.

EVC will be installing the charge points at Warwick Racecourse on a fully funded basis, carrying out the installation and covering the ongoing management and maintenance of the chargers at zero cost to The Jockey Club.

Kirstin McEvoy, sustainability manager at The Jockey Club, said: "Horseracing is a sport with so much heritage, and our partnership with EVC underscores our commitment to seeking out innovations that will enable us to future-proof our racecourses and deliver on our net zero ambitions.

"At The Jockey Club, sustainability goes hand-in-hand with our mission to safeguard the legacy of our historic racecourses and this is a significant step on our journey.

"Ensuring all 14 of our locations have EV charging solutions and tripling the EV parking bays available for our racegoers means a faster charging experience."
