Aldi to install EV chargers at 20 new UK stores per year with fast and rapid options
By Eve
Aldi has confirmed it will roll out EV charging infrastructure at around 20 new stores annually across the UK, offering both fast chargers at 40p per kWh and rapid chargers at 62p per kWh. Customers can access the network via the Charge Assist app or contactless payment with no subscription required. The move follows similar expansions by Morrisons and other UK supermarkets as electric vehicle numbers surpass one million on British roads, according to SMMT data.
Why it matters: A steady pipeline of 20 sites per year signals predictable procurement opportunities for charge point operators and equipment suppliers targeting the grocery retail sector. Aldi's dual speed offering and app based payment model set baseline expectations for future supermarket tenders in a market where EV adoption is accelerating.
