Is an EV a suitable car to bring to Arran? 

​​

At only around 20 miles long and 10 miles wide, you don't need a lot of juice to get around Arran!

​

The coastal road around the entire island is a journey of approximately 56 miles.

​

And, yes, there is public EV charging in Arran! There are a couple of 50kW DC fast chargers in Brodick and Lamlash, although they have not been the most reliable. 

​

There are also type 2 chargers, offering charging up to 22kW at the Lochranza Distillery, Lagg Distillery, and in Lamlash and Brodick. 

​

For more information, up to date status, and reviews of these public chargers check out Zapmap.

​

What about charging at Lochdean Cottage?

​

While we do not have dedicated EV charging there is a 13A socket outside on the front of the house. If you are a guest you are welcome to use your own granny charger here. Note that you will need a cable of at least 25 feet in length to reach from the front of the house to the parking area.​​​ Please charge between 1:30 AM and 8:30 AM (BST) for the much cheaper overnight rates.
