Lancashire’s first Porsche Destination electric charging point will be at Moor Hall Restaurant with Rooms.
The new electric car charging installation, set in our two Michelin star restaurant based in the North West of England, is also conveniently located for travellers from Liverpool and Manchester. The move is part of the commercial partnership between Moor Hall and Porsche Centre Preston which will pave the way for our two businesses to work more closely together on to provide exclusive benefits to customers of both businesses.
The “Porsche Destination Charging” programme was launched in May. It will see Porsche roll out charger installations at selected hotels, airports, museums, shopping centres, sports clubs and marinas. The Porsche mission to expand electric mobility follows the February launch of the first all-electric Porsche – the Taycan.
Tom Fox, centre principal of Porsche Centre Preston, said: “The Porsche Destination charging programme already offers over 1,000 charging points across 20 countries. There are now plans to add 200 Porsche Destination partners across the UK.
“It means that – in addition to charging at public charging points; at home; and, at a Porsche Centres – Porsche electric and hybrid owners can also charge their vehicles at a global network of luxury hotels, fine restaurants and premium venues; just like Moor Hall.
“We are especially pleased to install Lancashire’s first Porsche electric charge point as part of our new commercial partnership with Moor Hall.”
By the end of 2020, Porsche GB aims to provide a total of 200 charging locations. The Porsche dealer network is also being equipped with 800-volt high power fast charging stations throughout the country. Destinations with charging points like Moor Hall will be listed locations on Porsche.com, satellite navigation system and Porsche App.
Mark Birchall, chef patron of Moor Hall Restaurant with Rooms, said: “The whole EV future really interests me, so getting a charging point installed was a great first step in our partnership with Porsche Centre Preston.”
The partnership between Moor Hall and Porsche Centre Preston will focus on our shared interests including sustainability and exclusive luxury experiences.
