These five hubs are located in:
- Workington, Cumbria (Morrisons) – 16 chargers
- Wisbech, Cambridgeshire (Morrisons) – six chargers

The newest hub at Chineham Tesco in Basingstoke offers eight ultra-rapid 300kW DC chargers and is compatible with every EV on the market today.
Isabelle Smith, head of sustainability at Atrato Capital, investment adviser to Supermarket Income REIT, says: “We are pleased to see the launch of the fifth ultra-rapid EV charging hub in partnership with Osprey Charging. By integrating high-speed EV charging infrastructure into these stores, we not only enhance access to the shopping experience for customers, but also contribute to the UK’s charging infrastructure.
Ian Johnston, CEO of Osprey Charging, adds: “The first year of our roll-out with Supermarket Income REIT demonstrates the success of this important partnership and the excellent opportunity available to commercial landlords: to future-proof their assets, support important sustainability goals and provide retail customers with the high-quality EV charging they will come to expect.”
