Back in January, Sainsbury’s launched Smart Charge, its very-own electric vehicle (EV) charging company, led by Patrick Dunne, Director of Group Property, Procurement, and EV Ventures.
We sat down with Dunne at MOVE 2024 to discuss how the national supermarket chain is making strides toward their 2035 net-zero emissions goal through both fleet operations and store output.
The supermarket giant claimed to have reduced its carbon footprint by 50% over the last 3-4 years. But how can they maintain this momentum and continue to cut emissions down to zero?
Dunne emphasized the company’s dedication to sustainability, particularly in reducing emissions from their heavy goods vehicle fleet, grocery online fleet, and the Argos business.
“We’re confident we’ll get there,” he stated.
Watch the full interview for more exclusive insights into how the company is achieving this and fostering confidence in EV adoption.

Sean Ackley Head of Charging & Energy at VinFast spoke with MOVEMNT at the MOVE America conference about how the electric charging system has the potential to become a seamless and integrated experience.
Ackley proposes that electric vehicle (EV) charging shouldn’t be complex or difficult to understand, and it shouldn’t feel hard to find either.
He discusses how VinFast are working to remove the complexities of charging across the mobility ecosystem, meeting the people who are capable of making this possible at MOVE.
To do this, the company are integrating all of these different partners into a single app and have successfully integrated over 112,000 charge points to make charging infrastructure easier to find.

Ganesh Iyer the CEO of NIO USA spoke at the MOVE America conference about how NIO are innovating and transforming their company in order to challenge one of the biggest issues in the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) – range anxiety.
Iyer himself described NIO as a “pioneer in the smart EV industry” that was founded originally in 2014, boasting a design centre in Munich and in the Silicon Valley which Iyer leads himself as the company’s key innovation centre.
He also emphasised that “we are not a car company, we are a lifestyle brand” that holds user enterprise as its key interest. In this interview, Iyer also comments on his panel that he joined at the conference: “Circular batteries: how recycling programs are driving a sustainable battery ecosystem”. Iyer explains how the panel discussion turned to the obstacle of battery degradation and how this can be combatted.
He also mentioned NIO’s attempts at hurdling this obstacle via their power replenishment system, which allows users to charge, swap, or upgrade their depleted EV battery, giving a channelled focus on the innovation of the swapping system.

Brice Adamson President of Enterprise Fleet Management spoke recently at the MOVE America conference about how EFM enabled Domino’s Pizza to deploy 1,100 electric vehicles (EVs) as part of their delivery fleet.
With a mission to maximise fleet performance and mitigate financial risk with their predictive tools and technology, Enterprise’s analytics software offers real-time cost and performance insights that consider their client’s fleet mileage, insurance costs, driver downtime, vehicle depreciation and more.
Adamson stated that the company begin by learning their client’s objectives and goals and then use their software to help to advise on which fleet best suits them achieve those specific targets.
In a real-life example, Domino’s Pizza told the fleet management company that they wanted to reach zero-emissions in their pizza delivery fleet by 2050, after which Adamson explained that EFM recommended the fully-electric Chevrolet Bolt to put those 1,100 vehicles on the road in just one year.

Elon Musk’s global leading automotive company Tesla will reportedly be manufacturing cheap electric vehicles (EVs) in its factory near Berlin with a price tag of around $25,000, as reported by Reuters on Monday.
This rumoured model would be the company’s cheapest EV, but it is unclear yet as to whether the model will be a remake or an entirely new product.
The plan to build the cheaper vehicle was reportedly discussed when Musk visited Tesla’s Berlin-Brandenburg gigafactory in Gruenheide last week, but the comapnies’ intentions behind the rumoured production have not yet been confirmed.
The circulating low price could allow the company to effectively compete with EV prices from China and Europe, as reported by Forbes.
Tesla’s current cheapest car in the EU is the Model 3, starting at $46,200.
