TotalEnergies will allocate up to EUR 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.

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.
