TotalEnergies allocates €200M for high-power EV chargers

The French energy player will equip more than 150 of its motorway and expressway service stations with chargers.

TotalEnergies 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 in France.

This major investment is intended to support the growth of electric mobility in France. By the end of 2021, 60 service stations will be equipped with high-power chargers (50 to 175 kW). By the following year, more than 110 TotalEnergies motorway and expressway service stations will have 175 kW charge points.

By 2023, TotalEnergies aims to have 200 service stations equipped with high-power charges, along with 100 additional stations in urban areas 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.

This acceleration is a pillar of TotalEnergies’ strategy to be a key player in electric mobility in Europe, especially in France.
