No charge is made for the service
Shoppers using Sainsbury's will be able to plug in their vehicles for free while they go shopping.
Electric cars such as the Reva G-Wiz typically have a range of about 70 miles on a full battery, which takes up to eight hours to charge.
But an hour and a half plugged in to the charge point is enough to get the battery up to 80% full.
The store is billing the network as an "electric vehicle superhighway", but at the Islington branch visited by Sky News they are yet to be used by a customer.
Environmental affairs manager Jack Cunningham said it was early days as the network has only just been opened.
He said that the aim of the initiative was to cater for existing customers known to use electric cars, rather than attract more business from environmentally-friendly shoppers.
However, he admitted it was part of a longer-term strategy to make sure the chain was in pole position to capitalise as green concerns come to dictate more of our shopping and spending habits in future.
"It's part of our strategy to enable our customers to be more environmentally responsible," he told Sky News.
"We believe longer term that this kind of technology is going to be very important, so it's important for us to start providing it at this early stage."
The scheme is also designed to tie in with Mayor Boris Johnson's aim of making London the "electric vehicle capital of Europe".
Mr Johnson said: "I warmly welcome the arrival of Sainsbury's network... which will put half of all London's population within three miles of a charge point."
The power for the recharging points is supplied by EDF, whose electricity the supermarket already sells under its Sainsbury's Energy brand.
If the takeup is big enough, the scheme will be rolled out to other major cities in the UK.
Charge points can now be found at Sainsbury's stores in Beckton, Camden, Chiswick, Cromwell Road, East Dulwich, Greenwich Peninsula, Islington, North Cheam and Sydenham.
The Wandsworth and Whitechapel branches will get them later this month.

London, 10th November 2009. Hesketh Motorcycles Ltd “HMC” (A division of Hesketh Motor Company Ltd) is pleased to announce that it has secured an exclusive deal with New Vectrix, which is continuing production of its world-renown zero emission electric bikes.
The bikes will be sold in the UK under the brand name “Hesketh” and will be called the Hesketh HZE-Vectrix. It will be marketed as a premium product for the commuter market with two new models expected during the course of 2010.
Charles Hesketh, Director of HMC, said. “This is a brand new chapter in the life of what we know as the World’s first high performance, zero emission, production motorbike. We spent a considerable amount both financially and energetically searching for a zero emission two-wheeled vehicle worthy of the Hesketh brand, and the Vectrix VX-1 meets all our requirements.”
Confirmation of the continuation of the Vectrix brand sees the way clear for HMC to offer a new contract to the current network of dealers which will include continued support* for all Vectrix bikes sold in the last two years.
Since its launch in May 2006, the Vectrix has been widely acclaimed by individual owners, fleet managers and dealers alike, a practical and quality product, enthusiastically received by the industry and positioned to meet the needs of today’s environmentally informed public. With public charging units becoming common place in our towns and cities, the urban community is embracing electric transportation as a reality in which the Hesketh HZE-Vectrix will provide outstanding performance and reliability, and of course style.
As quoted in “What Diesel Magazine” New Years Honours - “The Vectrix is without doubt, the finest contribution to reducing commuting emissions bar none. And it’s a showcase of what can already be done with battery technology if you stop strapping them to petrol and diesel engines in order to reduce consumption slightly. There isn’t a better, quicker or cleaner commuting vehicle out there, nor is there any powered vehicle that comes near it in terms of economy or smiles per mile either.”
Hesketh Motocycles Ltd was acquired earlier this year with the clear objectives of establishing a British brand in the evolving zero emissions market as well as fundamentally changing the way people commute on a daily basis. HMC is committed to ‘changing the world two wheels at a time’ by providing environmentally friendly, cost effective transportation for the urban commuter.
