More and more SPAR stores offer electric car charging, company displays charging points on an interactive map

In addition to the existing 138 charging points, 60 new electric car charging points await drivers thanks to the cooperation between SPAR and OMV Hungária. There are now almost two hundred charging points which offer charging options at SPAR supermarkets, INTERSPAR hypermarkets, and OMV-SPAR express stores.

“The number of electric and plug-in hybrid cars in Hungary has increased significantly over the past five years. SPAR Hungary is committed to the use of environmentally-friendly technologies, which is why we started building charging points at SPAR stores in 2019. Over the past six years, our company has installed electric charging stations at numerous new or modernised supermarkets and hypermarkets frequented by customers who drive. Our programme reached another important milestone last year: as part of our cooperation with OMV Hungária, a total of 60 new charging points were installed in the parking lots of OMV-SPAR express and INTERSPAR stores in about 12 cities. Together, these now bring the number of charging points available to our customers arriving by electric car to 198 stores nationwide,” explained Márk Maczelka, head of communications at SPAR Hungary.

The 60 new charging points installed through the cooperation between SPAR and OMV Hungária can be used by electric car owners in eight OMV-SPAR express and INTERSPAR hypermarket parking lots in Budapest and one each in Dunaharaszti, Balatonlelle, Szentendre, Szigetszentmiklós, Makó, Debrecen, Tata, Érd, Pécs, Tatabánya and Békéscsaba. The ultra-fast, premium chargers offer motorists a 150-300 kW charging option, allowing them to charge their eligible electric vehicles from 10% to 80% in just 20 minutes.

For those interested, SPAR has also created an interactive map on its website, which lists all the charging points in Hungary: https://www.sparafenntarthatojovoert.hu/e-autotolto
