Forecourt operator Motor Fuel Group (MFG) has announced the completion of its rollout of rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging bays across the Morrisons network.
More than 580 rapid EV Power charging bays have been installed across nearly 300 Morrisons supermarket sites. Rollout of the rapid chargers was achieved within five monthsas part of MFG’s significant investment in the UK EV charging sector.
The roll out is in addition to MFG’s ultra-rapid charging hub pipeline – MFG EV Power will have approximatelt 1,900 bays in operation by Q4 2025.
Chargers can provide a battery fill akin to the average milage travelled within 45 minutes, therefore suitable for customers undertaking the weekly shop.
This rollout is in addition to MFG’s investment in EV Power Ultra Rapid Charging Hubs, where it is developing multi bay hubs (up to 8-bays) alongside its petrol/diesel forecourts, as part of a ‘dual fuel’ strategy.
MFG will have over 100 Ultra Rapid Hubs on the Morrisons network alone by 2030, in addition to a further 400 hubs across its 1,218 service stations.
William Bannister, CEO, MFG, said:
“Completing this rollout of rapid charging bays across the Morrisons network in just five months is a testament to our team’s expertise and commitment. We are delivering on our promise to provide the infrastructure communities need to embrace electric vehicles, while continuing to invest in a best-in-class experience for all our customers.”
Daisy Cooper MP for St Albans said:
“As a St Albans based business, I’m delighted to see MFG complete their installation of 1,000 ultra rapid EV charging bays across its sites nationwide. This is a significant investment in the UK EV charging sector and will give greater availability to drivers and reassurance that there are public charging points within a short driver anywhere in the UK.
“Seeing drivers who live in and pass through St Albans plug in their electric vehicles whilst stopping for a rest and a coffee, is great news for the environment, and local employment. I’m looking forward to seeing how the roll out continues in the coming years.”
