Tesco electric car charging point
Electric car charging points are installed at more than 500 Tesco stores across the UK, thanks to a joint project between Pod Point and Volkswagen.
The result is the country’s largest retail electric car charging network. Around 10 percent of the devices in Tesco supermarket car parks are rapid chargers, too.
To start with, the 7kW fast chargers were free to use for Tesco customers. However, from 1 November 2022, this is no longer the case. The 7kW devices now cost 28p per kilowatt hour (kWh).
Tesco’s 22kW chargers cost 40p per kWh to use, while the 50kW units are the most expensive, at 50p per kWh. However, the latter offer the potential for a full charge while you do your weekly shop.
