NewMotion is to partner with Aldi, to provide electric vehicle (EV) charging points at all new store locations across the UK.
The move will add 140 chargers to the UK public network, with the potential of more to follow to match rising customer demand.
Aldi will also install charge points at its headquarters in Atherstone to encourage and support the uptake of sustainable driving.
The NewMotion charge points will support charging speeds of up 22 kW, significantly higher, maintains NewMotion, than the 7kW chargers generally available. This will ensure Aldi’s EV infrastructure is future-proofed to accommodate newer EV models, which will have bigger battery sizes and support greater charging speeds.
“We are scaling up our offering in the UK to make EV charging easy and accessible for a growing number of drivers,” said NewMotion UK GM, Alan McCleave.
