M6 motorway services and EV charging, Rugby to Carlisle

All stops on the M6

Each row shows the detour time the stop adds to your route in real minutes off the motorway and back, not straight-line distance. We hold 12 stops on the M6, from Rugby and Corley in the Midlands up through Keele, Charnock Richard and Lancaster to Southwaite and the Todhills rest area before Carlisle.

Rapid EV chargers on the M6: what we have recorded

Three M6 service areas carry a charging network in our data. Keele and Charnock Richard both have Tesla Superchargers at up to 150 kW, open to any make, and Corley has an InstaVolt rapid hub. For the rest of the route we hold the service area but not the charger, so we leave it blank rather than guess.

Three M6 stops carry a charging network in our data. Keele and Charnock Richard both have Tesla Superchargers rated to 150 kW and open to any make, and Corley has an InstaVolt rapid hub, though no power figure is recorded for it. Rugby is the only M6 stop we hold a junction number for, so junctions do not appear elsewhere on this page. Every other service area on the route may well have chargers, but we do not hold the network on file, and we would rather leave the column empty than print an operator we cannot back. Prices vary by network and tariff, so check the ad-hoc rate before you pull in.

Which operator runs each M6 service area?

We hold 12 stops on the M6, and two operators show up in their names. Moto runs Stafford North and Southwaite, RoadChef runs Stafford South and Sandbach. The other eight carry no operator in our data, and food and retail tenants we do not record on this corridor at all.

Rugby, Corley, Keele, Knutsford, Charnock Richard, Lancaster, Burton-in-Kendal and the Todhills rest area carry no operator in our data, so we leave that column blank rather than guess. Food and retail tenants are not something we record on this corridor, and the one forecourt brand we hold is BP at Lancaster. The table lines the sites up by operator, charging network and recorded facilities.

HGV parking and truckstops on the M6

The M6 is a core freight route, and nine of the twelve stops we hold have HGV parking. Lancaster is the one recorded as a truckstop, with toilets, showers, lorry parking and a BP forecourt. Keele and Charnock Richard run 24 hours with showers. Bay counts are not in our data.

Unlike the passenger-led M40, the M6 is a core freight artery, and nine of the twelve stops we hold carry HGV parking. Lancaster is the only one recorded as a truckstop: toilets, showers, lorry parking and a BP forecourt. Four stops run 24 hours, and Keele and Charnock Richard are the two that pair that with showers and lorry parking, which makes them the anchors for an overnight on a Scotland run. Bay counts and rates are not in our data, so check with the operator before you commit to a stop this far north.
