Thirteen electric car load operators promised Thursday investing in 2028 euros more for very fast terminals in France, provided that regulations do not evolve against electricity.
These operators, including Ionity, Fastned, Electra and Engie Vianeo, handle more than 10,000 very fast terminals in France, just over half of the park.
They expressed Thursday in a joint statement of their desire to install 30,000 very fast terminals in three years, an investment of 3 billion euros that condition “regulatory stability in France and Europe”, and first of all on the European standard of reduction of emissions that automobile manufacturers want to question.
This SO (corporate fuel economy) standard for gradually selling less and less polluting vehicles under a penalty of strong fines, with the end of thermal vehicles in 2035.
“If we don’t know where we are going, we can’t invest”
The Acea Actomoble Lobby, supported by the French or Italian governments, asked the European Commission not to sanction the manufacturers.
After time, the European Commission said at the end of January that it was considering “flexibility” to save the manufacturers.
The thirteen operators that created on Thursday, the association accuses France to defend their interests do not oppose this temporal flexibility, but they want the general ambitions of the regulations not to fall into water.
“If we don’t know where we are going, we can’t invest,” said Aurélien de Meaux, leader of Electra and now Charge France president, during a point with journalists.
France’s charge operators also want to coordinate to “erase irritants for users,” said Aurélien de Meaux.
Electric automobile owners often should juggled among the load cards to take advantage of the best prices in the terminals according to the operators.
“We will not be able to impose unique prices” for these cards “, but we can think of comparisons and indexes to facilitate its use,” Brieuc proposed by Tonquédec, French and Beneux responsible for ionity.
Very fast terminals have a power of at least 100 kilowatts (kW), much more than people have at home (from 3.7 to 22 kW), and above all, they allow to recharge cars during long trips, for a break of fifteen fifteen Thirty minutes.
