The UK’s largest independent forecourt operator has opened its latest EV charging site, with the MP for North East Fife attending the launch.

Motor Fuel Group (MFG) welcomed MP Wendy Chamberlain to the unveiling of the new charging station at its John Knox Road forecourt in St Andrews.

The site, operated in partnership with Morrisons, has eight chargers delivering up to 400kW, and as part of MFG’s 1300-site UK network, provides EV access and everyday services for local residents and visitors to St Andrews.

Martin Symes, EV Director, MFG, commented: “It was a pleasure to welcome Wendy Chamberlain to our St Andrews forecourt and show her the fuel, retail and EV charging services we provide to the local community.

“Sites like this are central to MFG's strategy of supporting everyday journeys across Scotland, from local residents filling up for the school run to visitors topping up their electric vehicles in St Andrews.”

Wendy Chamberlain, MP for North East Fife, commented: “It was great to visit MFG’s forecourt on John Knox Road and see the range of services it provides to residents and visitors across St Andrews.

“Reliable local fuel and EV charging infrastructure matters for a constituency like North East Fife, which balances busy tourist and student populations with rural communities that depend on their cars. I’ll continue to support investment that keeps North East Fife moving and helps make the switch to greener transport a practical choice for everyone here.”

As part of its strategy to support cleaner journeys, MFG is committing more than £400 million to expand its EV charging network and help drive the UK’s transition to greener transport.
