Harrogate's Sainsbury's unveils new electric vehicle charging points
Sainsbury’s Harrogate has launched new Ultra-rapid Electric Vehicle (EV) charging points at its store on Wetherby Road.
‘Ultra-rapid’ is the fastest type of EV charging currently available on the market.
Designed to be quick, reliable and easy, Sainsbury’s new service will allow customers to charge Electric Vehicles in just 30 minutes – providing enough power to travel up to 200 miles.
The Ultra-rapid 150kW charging service will be available as a sustainable power source for all types of EVs and for all drivers – not just those shopping in-store.
Instantly recognisable with splashes of Sainsbury’s signature orange, the charging points are located in the car park near the store.

Patrick Dunne, Sainsbury’s Director of Property, Procurement & EV Ventures, said:

"We hope customers enjoy the speed and convenience it offers and we look forward to hearing their feedback.
“We’re constantly looking for new ways to offer our customers more innovative, sustainable products and services at competitive prices.
"We’re also committed to reducing our carbon emissions and reaching Net Zero in our operations by 2035 and offering more, improved electric vehicle charging forms part of this pledge – our new charging points are powered by the same electricity that powers the rest of Sainsbury’s estate, 100% of which is renewable or matched to renewable sources.”
