More than one-in-10 UK supermarkets now offer EV charging

Zapmap and RAC analyse chargepoint provision for shoppers

Supermarkets across the UK added electric vehicle (EV) chargers to over 600 new locations during 2023, meaning drivers can now charge up at more than one-in-10 of their stores. Analysis from Zapmap and the RAC shows that total number of supermarkets offering EV chargepoints rose by 59% last year – from 1,015 stores with charging facilities in 2022 to 1,616 in 2023. This equates to 13% of all 12,839 UK supermarkets, including those that do not have parking facilities.
