CREAMFIELDS has been named as one of the best festivals in the UK for electric vehicle drivers.

This is according to GRIDSERVE who assesses charger accessibility at each event.

Researchers focused on the number of locations within a 50-mile radius and prioritised proximity to rapid charging points.

Creamfields, which takes place in Daresbury, came ninth on the list.

“Legendary dance event Creamfields is in ninth - with the facilities to top up quickly in the Roadchef in Chester on the festival's doorstep - among the other 125 in the Cheshire area,” a spokesperson for GRIDESERVE said.

Glastonbury came out on top with it being one of the few major festivals with charging on site.

The world-famous event benefits from 'super hub' points nearby points at Solstice Park, Leigh Delamere, and TEALS Farm Shop - and 368 EV charging spots in the area.

Leeds Festival follows closely, lacking on-site charging but benefiting from high-quality stations at locations like Wetherby, Woolley Edge, and Ferrybridge services - totalling 504 stations.

Rebecca Trebble, chief customer experience officer at the sustainable energy firm GRIDSERVE, which complied the data, said: "Plan ahead so you know where the chargers are along your route.

"And make sure you're hitting them in plenty of time ahead of any festival traffic.

"Timing is everything and getting an early start can help you bag a great tent pitch at the festival, but it can also speed up your charging experience - the quietest times to charge are before 8am or after 6pm."
