Stop & Shop Now Providing Electric Vehicle Fueling Stations

Stop & Shop is now providing electric vehicle fueling stations for shoppers at its East Brunswick store. The charging station will allow customers with electric vehicles to charge their cars at no cost. Stop & Shop has partnered with Volta Industries, Inc. (“Volta Charging”) to install electric vehicle charging stations at its stores across the Northeast. Stop & Shop is among the first in the Northeast to partner with Volta Charging, an industry leader in electric vehicle charging networks. Volta charging stations can also be found outside Stop & Shop stores located in Morris Plains, NJ; Walpole, MA; Willimantic, CT; and Pawtucket, RI. Stop & Shop is expected to launch 50 additional Volta charging stations across its five states in the Northeast by the end of 2021.

At every launched store, customers will be able to access two electric vehicle charging stations featuring Volta Charging’s signature high-resolution, two-sided, large eye-catching digital displays. Customers with electric vehicles can park in the designated spaces and charge while they shop. On average, a Volta charging station can deliver up to 30 miles of range per hour.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Volta Charging and offer our customers the benefit of electric vehicle charging at no cost,” said Gordon Reid, President of Stop & Shop. “Providing this convenience allows us to do more than make things easier for our customers; it allows us to also make things better for the environment.”

“We’re proud to expand our partnership with Stop & Shop to provide greater access to open, reliable and convenient charging infrastructure as we see the shift in electric mobility,” said Scott Mercer, Founder and CEO of Volta Charging. “Volta Charging’s mission is to offer reliable fueling solutions for drivers at the places they visit daily. Working with Stop & Shop allows us to do just that, and help drivers fuel where they already go.”
