Greenspot plans 30 Kempower fast-charging sites in France
Each retail car park hub will offer four charging points from a 200 kW power unit, with five sites already open at Aldi, Intermarché and Bricomarché stores.
French charge point operator Greenspot and Kempower will deploy 30 fast-charging sites in retail car parks across France by the end of 2027. Each site combines a 200 kW Kempower Power Unit with two dual Satellites, providing four charging points. The locations are hosted by Bricomarché, Intermarché, Aldi, Franprix and Cultura stores.
Five sites are already operating: Bricomarché in Montgiscard, Intermarché Super in Lanton and three Aldi stores in Benesse-Maremne, Izon and Saint-Ciers-sur-Gironde. Further openings are scheduled at Aldi, Franprix, Intermarché and Cultura locations.
The sites connect under France’s medium-power “tarif jaune” supply without a transformer substation, which speeds up commissioning and lowers investment. Kempower’s distributed system allocates power in real time to connected vehicles and allows capacity to be added in stages. Greenspot finances, installs and operates the stations, so retailers face no upfront cost.
“Retail stores are ideal places for fast charging: people stop there often, and for just the right amount of time,” said Cédric Moret, Country Manager France at Kempower.
“We chose a modular, scalable solution that can adapt to the needs of each site and support its development over time,” said Nicolas Salmon, Technical Director at Greenspot.
Founded in 2016, Greenspot operates more than 1,500 charging points in France, all powered by renewable electricity, and aims to reach 8,500 by 2030.
