ALDI to add EV charging points at new store in Mayo

ALDI Ireland is doubling its electric vehicle charging points over the next 12 months as part of its drive towards a more sustainable future.

Four additional EV charging points will be available at ALDI’s Ballina store, which is due to open in the coming months.

Charging points are already available at ALDI stores in Mayo as well as Dublin, Cork, Meath, Wicklow, Kildare, Cavan, and Kerry. The charging points are currently free to use and are powered by 100% green electricity, as are all ALDI stores.

In total, 41 additional EV charging points in Wexford, Galway, Louth, Dublin, Meath, Kerry, Cork and Mayo are scheduled for installation over the next 12 months, with a total of 79 EV charging points to be available across 19 ALDI stores.

ALDI’s initiative aims to support the government’s National EV Charging Infrastructure Strategy, which prioritises the delivery of rapid charge points over the next five years to facilitate the target of having almost a million EVs on Irish roads by 2030.

Commenting, Niall O’Connor, ALDI group managing director said: “We want to help ALDI shoppers in County Mayo live more sustainable lives and are constantly looking at new, innovative ways to make it easier for them to shop with ALDI.

“By increasing our EV charging offering across our Mayo stores, our aim is to support customers in making environmentally friendly choices so that together we can work towards a greener future.”
