'The opening of our Wolverhampton site is a proud milestone' - Arnold Clark says as new public rapid electric vehicle charging site opens

Arnold Clark Charge has expanded its public charging network with the launch of six new ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) chargers at its Wolverhampton Motorstore - marking a major milestone as the network reaches its 60th charging site across the UK.

The new ultra-rapid chargers, located at Pantheon Park, Wednesfield Way, are part of the business's ongoing investment in EV infrastructure, designed to make charging more accessible, affordable and convenient for drivers nationwide.

Open to all, the Wolverhampton site will support local EV users and those travelling longer distances through the region.

The ultra-rapid chargers allow drivers to quickly top up their vehicles, minimising downtime and making electric travel more practical for everyday use - at a cost of 55p per kWh – compared to the current UK average of 76p per kWh.

Payments can be made easily via the Arnold Clark app, through roaming partners, or by using contactless payment at the chargers.

Customers can enjoy a free coffee in branch while their vehicle charges.

Pablo Levi, group sustainability manager at Arnold Clark, said: “The opening of our Wolverhampton site is a proud milestone for Arnold Clark Charge as it becomes our 60th location across the UK.

“Our aim is to make EV charging straightforward, cost-effective and widely accessible, whether customers are driving locally or travelling further afield.

“By investing in ultra-rapid charging at important locations like this, we’re supporting the shift to electric vehicles while delivering tangible benefits for drivers and local communities.”

Arnold Clark Charge’s rapid growth and customer-focused approach were recently recognised at the Zapmap 2025 Awards, where the network was named ‘Up-and-Coming Rapid/Ultra-rapid EV Charging Network’.
