Ultra-rapid EV charging hub opens at Sainsbury's Gateway Retail Park in Lowestoft

A new electric vehicle charging hub has launched at the Sainsbury's store on Tower Road at Gateway Retail Park in south Lowestoft, Suffolk. The facility, operated by Source, provides ultra-rapid charging infrastructure at the retail location. The hub was opened by Deepa Chandrasekaran, managing director at Source.

Why it matters: The deployment adds ultra-rapid charging capacity at a high-footfall retail site, reflecting the ongoing build-out of destination charging infrastructure in UK market towns. For procurement teams and site hosts, it demonstrates the viability of supermarket car parks as anchor locations for rapid charging hubs.
