Tesco customers have been left fuming after the supermarket introduced a new 28p fee for electric cars. Drivers will now have to pay to charge their electric vehicles, something that was previously free.
The supermarket teamed up with Volkswagen and EV charging station provider Pod Point, intending to set up 2,400 charge points. Initially, the 7kW connection was free, in an effort to encourage people to use electric vehicles, but it will now cost 28p per kWh.
Customers who want to charge their vehicles quicker can pay 40p for the 22kW connection, or 50p for 50kW rapid chargers. However, some have been left seething at the changes, according to BirminghamLive.
