Arnold Clark Charge has expanded its public charging network by installing six new ultra-rapid electric vehicle chargers at its York Motorstore.
Located at the York Business Park, the new ultra-rapid chargers are part of the group’s ongoing investment in EV infrastructure, and will support both local EV users and those travelling longer distances through the region.
Drivers using the charging hub will benefit from ultra-rapid charging rates priced at 55p per kWh – lower than the current UK average of 76p per kWh, according to Zapmap figures.
Arnold Clark Charge is currently rolling out infrastructure in strategic locations across the UK to respond to growing demand for dependable, high-speed charging.
The ultra-rapid chargers allow drivers to quickly top up their vehicles, and payments can be made via the Arnold Clark app, through roaming partners, or by using contactless payment at the chargers.
Customers can also stop for a free coffee in branch while their vehicle charges, adding extra convenience to the charging experience.
Arnold Clark Charge was recently recognised at the Zapmap 2025 Awards, where the network was named ‘Up-and-Coming Rapid/Ultra-rapid EV Charging Network’.
Pablo Levi, group sustainability manager at Arnold Clark, said, “The launch of our latest ultra-rapid chargers in York marks another key milestone in the expansion of Arnold Clark Charge 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.”
