CITROEN REVEALS BEST BEACHES FOR EV DRIVERS IN THE UK

The UK's highest-rated beaches to visit in an electric car this summer have been revealed in a new study by Citroën UK, with Brighton Beach on the south coast named the most EV-friendly location for UK drivers looking for a coastal getaway. To rank the top 10 beaches in the UK for electric vehicle drivers, Citroën compared how close the highest-rated beaches on TripAdvisor were to the 10 most populated cities across the nation. Points were awarded to those within the 260-mile (WLTP) electric range of the Citroën ë-C4. Locations were also ranked according to the number of rapid and fast charge points, and the overall total public chargers within a five-mile radius of a fixed centre point on the beach using data from ZapMap. Coming out on top, Brighton Beach can be reached from 10 of the UK's most populous cities on a single charge of Citroën's ë-C4. It also boasts an impressive 99 charge points within five miles that offer a rapid charge and a further 61 charge points available that offer a fast charge. In second place is Bournemouth Beach in Dorset. Bournemouth Beach had the most rapid chargers in its vicinity of all the best-ranked beaches, with 62 accessible within five miles. It had an equally impressive 98 fast chargers available within five miles of the coast and was within 260 miles of nine of the most populated cities. Taking the third spot is the award-winning Sandbanks Beach in Poole, Dorset. Sandbanks also offers an impressive charging service for EV drivers, with 88 fast chargers and 41 rapid chargers installed within five miles. This picturesque spot is also within the 260-mile range of nine major cities using a Citroën ë-C4.
