More and more SPAR stores offer charging for electric cars, the company presents charging points on an interactive map

“The number of electric and plug-in hybrid cars in Hungary has increased significantly in the past five years. SPAR Hungary is committed to the use of environmentally friendly technologies, which is why we started installing charging points at SPAR stores in 2019. Over the past six years, our company has installed electric charging stations at numerous new or modernized supermarkets and hypermarkets frequented by car customers. Last year, our program reached another important milestone: as part of our cooperation with OMV Hungary, 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 at 52 stores nationwide,”

said Márk Maczelka, Head of Communications at SPAR Hungary.

The 60 new charging points installed as a result of 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 Dunaharasztí, 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 charging points in Hungary: https://www.sparafenntarthatojovoert.hu/e-autotolto
