WORK has been completed to install an EV parking space at a shopping superstore in Taunton.
Shoppers at the Sainsbury's Superstore in Hankridge Retail Park can now recharge electric vehicles whilst browsing and shopping for goods.
This comes as a growing number of electric vehicles take to the roads across Somerset and beyond, with some shops failing to allocate parking and charging space.

A total of 12 'Ultra-rapid EV charging bays' are available 24/7 at Sainsbury's, Taunton, with charging costs displayed on on-site screens
These spaces are located at the far end of the Sainsbury's car park, close to the turning roundabout for the shop's petrol station.
On the other side of Taunton, contractors are building a large EV canopy at the Morrison's store at Dellers Wharf. Once construction is complete, this site will offer up to eight secure parking spaces equipped with electric vehicle charging facilities for Morrison's customers.
The sculpted canopy is taking shape, with its walls and roof visible upon entering the Dellars Wharf area.
