Regulatory News:
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) will allocate up
to €200 million over a year to equip more than 150 of its motorway
and expressway service stations with high-power charge points for
electric vehicles.
This major investment is intended to support the growth of
electric mobility in France:
- By end-2021, 60 motorway service stations will be
equipped with high-power EV charge points (50 to 175 kW).
- By end-2022, more than 110 TotalEnergies motorway and
expressway service stations will be equipped with high-power EV
charging stations (175 kW charge points). In parallel,
TotalEnergies will actively participate in the upcoming calls for
tenders from the motorway operators.
- By 2023, TotalEnergies aims to have 200 service stations
equipped with high-power EV charge points on these major roads,
along with 100 additional stations in urban areas, notably in the
form of high-power charging hubs. With these moves, TotalEnergies
is reaffirming its ambition to offer to its customers a high-power
charging station every 150 kilometers.
“Thanks to the revenue generated from our oil and gas
businesses, we can massively invest in electric vehicles charging
infrastructures and accelerate our transformation,”
underlines Alexis Vovk, President Marketing &
Services at TotalEnergies. “Our assertive positioning therefore
supports the growth of electric mobility for long-distance travel.
The installation of high-power EV charge points in our motorway and
expressway service stations in France contributes to the public
authorities’ 100,000 Charge Points Plan.”
This acceleration is a pillar of TotalEnergies’ strategy to be a
key player in electric mobility in Europe, especially in
France.
Since 2020, TotalEnergies pursues its development in world-class
metropolitan areas, with a large portfolio of EV charge points in
operation or under construction in Amsterdam and its Metropolitan
Region (22,000), Antwerp (3,000), London (1,700), Paris (2,300),
Singapore (1,500) and Wuhan (11,000).
High-Power Charging
High-power charging is a technology that
allows to charge compatible electric vehicles at installations with
a power supply above 50 kW.
Depending on the type of vehicle,
high-power charging can deliver 100 kilometers of driving range in
six minutes and bring the battery up to around 80% capacity in
around 20 minutes, the average duration of most motorway stops for
motorists.
TotalEnergies notably offers 175 kW
high-power chargers and will be providing customers with chargers
that have a power supply of up to 300 kW.
