TotalEnergies bet on charge points in the Hexagon

TotalEnergies will improve EV charge points network in France allocating up to 200 million euro 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. More into details, by the end of the current year, around 60 motorway service stations will be equipped with high-power charging points from 50 to 175 kW. 

TotalEnergies will improve charge points by the end of 2022

By the end of 2022, more than 110 TotalEnergies motorway and expressway service stations will be equipped with high-power EV charging stations (175 kW charge points). TotalEnergies set the target of 200 service stations equipped with high-power EV charge points on these major roads, along with 100 additional stations in urban areas, by the end of 2023. This is indeed part of a broader strategy set by the French energy company, which is investing the revenues coming from the oil&gas business in electric vehicles charging infrastructures. The aforementioned strategy has got seven pillars: besides oil&gas, also gas, electricity, hydrogen, biomass, wind and solar are included. The long-term plan speaks of a carbon-neutral ambition by 2050, with the company becoming fully multi-energy. In terms of biofuel production, the plans call for an increase from 500 GW/h per year in 2020 to 6,000 GW/h per year in 2030. The biofuels produced should increase from the current 0.3 million tonnes per year to 5 million tonnes in 2030.

«Our assertive positioning therefore supports the growth of electric mobility for long-distance travel. The installation of high-power EV points in our motorway and expressway service stations in France contributes to the public authorities’ 100,000 Charge Points Plan», stated Alexis Vovk, President Marketing & Services at TotalEnergies.
