True to our word we’re taking accountability for our sustainability initiatives. By installing an ultra-electric vehicle charging point on the hotel grounds, customers can enjoy fully electric driving without having to compromise.

Chargemasters “Next generation” rapid charge point, is capable of charging most electric vehicles up to 80% in under 30 minutes, with capacity to charge two vehicles at any time.

To show off the true potential of this new service we teamed up with Audi Truro, showcasing their state-of-the-art Audi E-tron. The Audi E-tron sporty five-seat SUV has a range of more than 248 miles in the WLTP driving cycle, and its all-wheel drive is powered by two electric motors, which generate 300kW of power.

The team from chargemaster commented “Merchants Manor hotel has installed a BP chargemaster rapid charger at their boutique hotel and spa for grown-ups. This 50kW ultracharger offers Type 2 charging cables built in, enabling multiple electric vehicles the ability to charge on the unit. This charger will be available on the Polar network (the largest public charging network in the UK). To access this charging point, join the Polar membership scheme or access it on our Pay as you go app; Polar Instant. All the electricity supplied on the Polar network is renewable.

Pop in for a bite to eat or work up an appetite in the gym and pool. Merchants Manor Hotel & Spa and Rastella Restaurant is the perfect spot for both car and human to recharge the batteries.
