Zest installs EV chargers at six Home Bargains stores with two more in progress
By Eve
Zest has completed EV charger installations at six Home Bargains locations in Arbroath, Ballymena, Cardigan, Carrickfergus, Newport and Sunderland, with speeds ranging from fast to ultra-rapid. Two additional installations are underway at Home Bargains sites in Ashford and Leigh. Zest already operates chargers at Co-op, Tesco, Spar and Starbucks locations, as well as shopping centres including Metrocentre, Frenchgate, Chantry Place and Merry Hill.
Why it matters: The rollout demonstrates how discount retailers are becoming viable hosts for charging infrastructure, expanding the addressable site pipeline beyond premium retail. Zest's multi-retailer portfolio shows CPOs can scale by replicating a proven retail model across different grocery and convenience chains.
