      FAQs

          The rollout seems to be taking a while...why is that?

          This is a large-scale and complex rollout with multiple stakeholders. Each site has different requirements and varying power availability, and as such needs to be surveyed individually. We’re working as fast as we can to get chargepoints in the ground. Thanks for your patience!

          How have you chosen the locations?

          Where possible, we’re installing chargepoints in Tesco Extra and Superstore customer car parks.

          Are the chargepoints just for VW drivers?

          Not at all, our 7kW chargepoints are universal and compatible with all types of EV. At sites where we are able to offer DC rapid charging we will also offer 22kW AC charging for Zoe drivers.

          How much will it cost to use the chargers?

          7kW charging will cost 28p/kWh. Selected stores will also offer ‘rapid’ - 50kW - DC charging, which will be priced at competitive rates. These stores will also offer 22kW AC charging.

          Will they offer a contactless payment option?

          Payment can be made via the Pod Point App, or online guest checkout where available. All of our rapid chargers will have a contactless payment option and will be competitively priced.

          Where will the rapid chargers be installed?

          Rapid charger locations will be selected based on technical survey results. We’ll update you on the locations for these as soon as we can, so watch this space.

          What about rapid charging for Renault Zoes?

          At sites where we are able to offer DC rapid charging we will also offer 22kW AC charging for Zoe drivers.

          Where does the electricity for the charging come from?

          The electricity used to charge EVs at Tesco comes from renewable sources. In 2017 Tesco were the first company to announce verified science-based carbon reduction targets aligned to 1.5 degrees and joined the RE100 campaign.
