Zest is rolling out a new ultra‑fast charging network through a strategic partnership with Co‑op, the UK’s leading convenience‑store chain. The collaboration will see Zest’s high‑power chargers installed at hundreds of Co‑op locations, giving drivers of electric vehicles access to rapid top‑ups while they shop or grab a coffee. The rollout is slated to begin later this year, with an initial focus on high‑traffic sites in England and Scotland, and aims to boost charging availability on major routes and in suburban areas. Industry analysts see the move as a significant step toward mainstreaming EV adoption, leveraging the convenience‑store model to address range anxiety and expand the country’s charging infrastructure.
