Vauxhall is partnering with Tesco to provide new Vauxhall EV customers with one year’s free charging credit at stores across the country.

Powered by provider Pod Point, Tesco holds 2,700 charging bays across over 600 of the brand’s stores nationwide making it the country’s largest supermarket charging network.

They provide a mix of 7kW, 22kW, 50kW and 75kW charging stations.
 
New Vauxhall retail customers who purchase an electric Vauxhall car or van direct from a Vauxhall retailer will benefit from one year’s worth of free charging credit when visiting Tesco.
 
The partnership comes as part of its Electric Streets of Britain initiative to increase accessible charging solutions for all drivers across the country.

He said: "We’re committed to electrifying Britain and helping UK motorists to make the switch to electric." W
He added that the company is excited to start working with Tesco, and is looking forward to providing "even more convenient charging solutions of drivers to make their dat-to-day journeys."
