Destination & Leisure
Located beside a key dual carriageway route, Angus Alchemy Distillery combines craft distilling with unique visitor accommodation in a prime rural location. With both a distillery and AirBnB on site, the venue is ideally positioned to serve guests travelling through the area - including the growing number arriving in electric vehicles.
Having already completed site power upgrades two years earlier, Angus Alchemy recognised the opportunity to introduce EV charging as part of its future-focused visitor offering.
Despite wanting EV charging infrastructure in place for several years, the business had struggled to move projects forward with previous providers.
Key challenges included:
The venue needed a partner that could take ownership of the project and deliver a solution quickly and effectively.
“We are delighted with our install by Connekt Charging. From first contact through to delivery, it could not have been smoother. After many years of discussions and promises from others, we were up and running in under three months from start to finish. Connekt’s understanding of the market, support, and full control of the process made everything feel seamless. The installation and customer service were simple, informed, and professionally managed throughout.”
Connekt worked closely with Angus Alchemy Distillery to design and deliver a tailored charging solution suited to both the site infrastructure and expected visitor demand.
The installation included:
This combination of rapid and AC charging provides flexibility for both short-stay visitors and overnight guests using the AirBnB accommodation.
Connekt managed the entire process from consultation through to installation and commissioning, ensuring the project progressed smoothly and without unnecessary complexity.
Thanks to Connekt’s proactive management and understanding of the commercial EV charging market, the site was fully operational in under three months from initial engagement.
The installation has created significant benefits for the venue:
By combining rapid charging with overnight charging options, Angus Alchemy Distillery now offers greater convenience and flexibility for guests while strengthening its long-term visitor offering.
