Osprey Charging will install EV chargers across Reit’s supermarkets
Millions of Morrisons and Tesco customers will now have access to rapid EV charging hubs.
Osprey Charging has partnered with real estate investment trust, Supermarket Income REIT, to install rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging hubs across the fund’s portfolio of supermarkets.
The collaboration significantly improves the convenience of public EV charging for millions of customers of major retail brands such as Morrisons and Tesco.
An initial six locations are earmarked for supermarket hubs, totalling over 65 rapid charge points, with further sites expected to be added to the partnership. Two of the six are already live, both at Morrisons in areas where public EV charging is currently sparse.
“Supermarkets sit at the heart of communities, and providing a high standard of EV charging at them makes a difference to consumers’ choice of where to shop and confidence to drive electric,” said Andrew Nosworthy, Commercial Director at Osprey Charging.
The first hub at Morrisons in Workington comprises 16 ultra-rapid charge points, each capable of delivering up to 300kW, in an accessible-design layout managed by a charging technology that distributes power to vehicles based on their actual needs in real time.
This announcement is Osprey’s latest partnership in the retail property sector, where the charging business has a five-year track record of installing over 180 rapid charge points for portfolio owners including Ediston, London & Scottish Investments, M7 Real Estate and Brookhouse Group.
