EV drivers who use the previously-free 7kW chargers will now pay 28p/kWh, while 22kW chargers will cost 40p/kWh, and 50kW will be 50p/kWh.
Tesco says the EV charging network, developed in partnership with Pod Point and Volkswagen, has provided more than 86 million miles of free electric driving. It adds that, overall, the Tesco EV charging network has saved over 12 thousand tonnes of CO2.1
The introduction of charges come amid rapid increases in electricity prices in recent months.
The UK supermarket added in a statement: "The new tariffs are some of the most competitive in the market and will enable us to continue investing in our network.
"It’s hoped that by making these changes customers will only top up when they need to, ensuring that they make way for others once their cars are charged."
Tesco says the partnership with Pod Point and Volkswagen is on track to meet its target of installing EV charging at 600 Tesco stores across the UK by the end of Spring 2023.
The Tesco network has so far delivered 21,507,700 kWh of energy and powered a total of 98,146,002 low-carbon electric miles.
