Workplace & Destination
Established in 1763, The Glenturret Distillery is one of Scotland's oldest whisky distilleries. Nestled in the picturesque town of Crieff, it boasts a rich heritage and a dedication to artisanal whisky-making methods. Over the centuries, it has become a renowned destination, visited by writers, poets, and dignitaries. As custodians of this historic site, the distillery is committed to preserving its heritage while embracing innovative and sustainable practices.
With a noticeable increase in electric vehicle (EV) arrivals, The Glenturret Distillery aimed to enhance its visitor experience by providing on-site EV charging. This initiative was aligned with their broader sustainability goals and their commitment to reducing their carbon footprint.
While investigating the right solution, Connekt considered the following:
Visitor Demand: Increasing numbers of EV-driving visitors required convenient and efficient charging solutions.
Sustainability Goals: The distillery aimed to support its sustainability strategy by reducing emissions and promoting green transportation.
Infrastructure: Implementing an EV charging solution that complemented the distillery’s historic and picturesque setting.
In collaboration with Connekt EV, The Glenturret Distillery installed three 22kW Garo chargers, providing six EV charging bays, including two disabled-accessible bays. These chargers were strategically placed to ensure they were accessible yet unobtrusive, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the site.
