Arnold Clark Charge has gone live with six new ultra-rapid electric vehicle chargers at its York Motorstore, boosting its public charging network further.

Located in York Business Park, the new ultra-rapid chargers are part of the group’s ongoing investment in EV infrastructure, designed to make charging more accessible, affordable and convenient for drivers nationwide.

Open to all drivers, the York charging hub will support both local EV users and those travelling longer distances through the region.

Drivers using the charging hub will benefit from one of the most competitive ultra-rapid charging rates in the market, priced at 55p per kWh – significantly lower than the current UK average of 76p per kWh, according to Zapmap figures.

Arnold Clark Charge continues its UK-wide network expansion, rolling out infrastructure in strategic locations to respond to growing demand for dependable, high-speed charging.

The ultra-rapid chargers allow drivers to quickly top up their vehicles, minimising downtime and making electric travel more practical for everyday use.

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

In addition to fast and affordable charging, customers can enjoy a free coffee in branch while their vehicle charges, adding extra convenience to the charging experience.

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.

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.”
