Welcome Break has announced it is leading the way in electric vehicle mobility across the UK motorway network by becoming the first service station operator to introduce Tesla Superchargers to its sites.

Leading motorway service operator Welcome Break will install Superchargers across seven of its UK sites. Three sites have already opened including South Mimms which initially has two charging bays and six bays per site have been installed at Hopwood Park and Oxford services. Other sites will be announced in due course.

Electric vehicle mobility

Tesla Superchargers are revolutionising electric vehicle mobility across the UK. With a driving range of 310 miles and the ability to Supercharge 50% of range in 20 minutes, British Model S drivers can easily travel long-distances. New Supercharger installations at Welcome Break sites will give Model S customers even more convenient locations and bring the total number of Superchargers in the UK to over 100 at 29 locations.

Rod Mckie, CEO of Welcome Break comments:

“We are thrilled to be the first motorway service station provider to offer Tesla’s cutting edge technology. Motorists will now be able to charge their vehicle whilst enjoying the comforts of Welcome Break at seven sites in the UK.

“Welcome Break is proud to be at the forefront of the UK motorway electric vehicle network, promoting nationwide the message that electric vehicles are no longer just for inner city driving, but can now be used to cover the length and breadth of the country, as well as connecting with Tesla’s large presence across Europe. The new stations at Welcome Break sites will open vast parts of UK’s motorway travel routes. ”
