Happy holidays – Motor Fuel Group, which describes itself as “the UK’s largest independent forecourt operator” has announced a summer bonanza of 25% off its MFG EV Power ultra-rapid charging network from 1 July through to 30 September. 

The company says it has knocked 20p off the price of a kWh of charging, making it 59p/kWh instead of 79p/kWh. Handy new while electricity prices are going up at home. 

MFG EV Power has ultra-rapid chargers at nearly 600 sites across the UK, with units charging at up to 400kW for proper speedy juicing up. MFG says that its plugs aren’t just on dedicated MFG forecourts, but can be found at Morrisons supermarkets and various retail sites. 

According to charge point mapping service Zapmap, MFG EV Power is the 11th largest charging network in the UK in terms of total plugs, but because all of its points are rapid or ultra-rapid chargers it’s by far the largest network in the UK when you count just the faster plugs, over 300 plugs ahead of its nearest rival Osprey. 

Martin Symes, EV director at MFG, said: “This summer price drop is our commitment to British EV drivers: we are putting you first, cutting our ultra-rapid charging rate to just 59p/kWh so that your summer journeys are cheaper, greener and hassle-free. With thousands of chargers across the UK and now one of the lowest rapid charging prices in the country, there has never been a smarter time to go electric.”

Is there not an MFG EV Power charge point near you? Perhaps there will be one soon – the company has ambitious plans to install thousands more charge rapid and ultra-rapid points across the UK by 2030.
