The supermarket said the proposed deal would also see it take a minority stake of about 20% in MFG.

As part of the agreement, MFG is set to take on the Morrisons forecourts - including the fuel and retail operations - as well as more than 400 EV charging sites.

As MFG operates a slightly different model to Morrisons, where staff are employed by a franchise holder, employees will be given a new position on the same pay and employment terms, they said.

MFG - which has 900 sites in the UK - has said it wants to roll out 800 ultra-rapid EV chargers across the UK estate within the first five years after the deal.

William Bannister, the boss of MFG, said this deal with Morrisons was "anchored in the potential for us to accelerate the rollout of ultra-rapid EV charging infrastructure across the UK".
