ELECTRIC car owners in Bournemouth and Poole can now charge their vehicles free-of-charge at three large branches of Tesco in Bournemouth and Poole.
Volkswagen and Tesco have partnered to provide the largest retail electric vehicle charging network in the UK, powered by Pod Point, giving EV drivers a place to charge their cars while doing their shopping.
The Bournemouth Tesco Extra, Poole Tesco Extra and Poole Fleets Corner Tesco have now been fitted with four complimentary charging points at each store.
Owners of electric cars made by any EV manufacturer can use the 7kW charging points free of charge.They just need to download the Pod Point app, plug in the charger and confirm their charge.
It is part of a nationwide rollout which will see 2,400 charging points installed at up to 600 Tesco stores over three years – with all electricity used to charge cars generated from renewable sources.
