The County Arms in Truro and the Holmbush Inn at St Austell have installed electric car charging points to meet the demand from the growing number of electric cars in the county.

The vehicle chargers both supply superfast 43/50 kW (AC/DC) "rapid charge" to enable onward travel which can be paid for using Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) genie cards or by using the app.

Adam Luck, estate director at St Austell Brewery, said: “Pubs are at the heart of the community, both socially and geographically. There are many of our pubs which are well placed to provide this service. The brewery is delighted to install the first two electric vehicle charging points to customers and we’re looking to extended this further across our estate in the future."
