Rapid charger location

The rapid charger is located in the Wray Lane Car Park at the top of Reigate Hill just off Junction 8 of the M25. At the roundabout of the A217 and the M25 head for Reigate / Merstham but stay in the left-hand lane (Merstham) and follow the parking / viewpoint signs.

Fast Chargers

These will charge a vehicle at up to 22kW depending on the vehicle type. For example a Renault Zoe will charge at 22 kW, while a Nissan Leaf (2018 version or older) will only charge at 7kW. Connection is via a type two connector (the standard for this type of unit) so you will need to have a charging cable (normally supplied with the vehicle) with you.

Fast charger location

Victoria Road Car Park, Victoria Road, Horley, Surrey, RH6 7AS.

  • Open 24 hours, shops, cafés, supermarkets and toilets all within 3 to 5-min walk.
  • Standard parking fees apply. See board in carpark or see the Horley car park page
  • These chargers are currently on the BP Pulse Network.
