Electric Charging points

[Dave]

Now we have a number of Hybrid boats on the network I am sure we would all be interested in knowing about the availability of electric charging points around the network.
If there is enough interest I will try and compile a list and post it on the group home page for future reference.

I Suggest you include the following information.

Name of location (marina, local name etc)
Canal/River the location is on
Date of Visit
Description of facility (i.e. on visitor mooring in weir stream)
Electrical rating (i.e 6A  16A  if known)
Cost of Mooring
Cost of Electricity
Contact number (if known)
Web address (if known)
email address (if known)

I will get the ball rolling with some site I know off

Book your mooring by phone before 4pm on day or arrival.
Handy for a couple of Pubs in Benson town, plus mini-market and Mcdonalds at the garage at the north end of the town.
NB I understand the EA are "recalibrating" the charging points to 30Kw per unit, I assume the cost will also change
A number of other locks on the Thames also have charging facilities but I have no experience of these.
