This ultra-rapid charging service features eight 150kW bays, allowing electric vehicles (EVs) to charge in as little as 30 minutes and travel up to 200 miles, reducing distance anxiety for EV drivers.

Patrick Dunne, Sainsbury’s director of Property, Procurement and EV Ventures, said: “It was also really exciting to celebrate the launch of another Smart Charge location, part of our plan to give confidence in public EV charging a major boost by building a trusted ultra-rapid charging brand that helps reduce range anxiety for EV drivers nationwide.”

Community engagement

Ash Metcalfe, Sainsbury’s Southport Meols Cop store manager said: “This is a really proud moment for me and my team as we launch an amazing new supermarket that puts our commitment to providing good food for all of us into practice for the benefit of all our customers in and around Southport.”

The store will participate in Sainsbury’s ‘Nourish The Nation Programme’, partnering with Neighbourly to reduce food waste and donate surplus food to Shoreline Church, a local food bank.

This new Sainsbury’s supermarket aims to become a central hub for groceries, convenient shopping, and sustainable practices in Southport.
