Business Wire
- Allego is installing up to 1,500 new public fast charging
points for electric vehicles, with the first stations already in
operation as of October 2022.
- The agreement is for 123 sites in Germany, and are all expected
to be operational by the end of 2024.
- The project scope is the largest collaboration signed with
Allego to date.
Allego N.V. (“Allego” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ALLG), a leading
European public electric vehicle fast and ultrafast charging
network, and the porta Group, today announced the expansion of
fast-charging facilities to be available at the porta Group
furniture store locations throughout Germany.
Allego will install a total of 1,500 charging points at 123
porta Group locations all of which are expected to be operational
by the end of 2024. The charging stations will be able to offer
both fast (50 kW) and ultra-fast (150 kW) charging points. The
first fast-charging stations are already operational at porta
locations in Potsdam, Altenburg, and Markranstädt. Additionally,
the porta Group headquarters has been equipped with semi-public
ultra-fast charging stations, which are available for employees as
well as for visiting electric vehicle (EV) drivers.
To meet future demand, the chargers are equipped to be upgraded
to ultra-fast charging later. The charging stations are available
to all visitors at porta locations as well as EV drivers who are
passing through. All charging stations can be found through
Allego’s Smoov app and third-party charging apps.
The management of the porta Group of companies is pleased about
the cooperation, "For almost 60 years, we have had our finger on
the pulse with our furniture stores. Expanding our locations to
include state-of-the-art fast-charging options is therefore a
logical step. We were looking for a partner who could pave the way
for us into the future in terms of scalability and innovative
knowledge and experience with companies like ours. After our first
test run in Potsdam in 2021, we decided to continue on this path
with Allego."
Allego’s Chief Executive Officer, Mathieu Bonnet, adds, "As an
international operator of charging infrastructure, we offer a wide
range of solutions that are geared to best meet the needs of EV
users. We made a conscious decision to offer lower charging
capacities and more charging points, as the dwell time in the
furniture stores is usually longer. We are very pleased to be able
to work with porta, a company that has built up an incredible
network of furniture stores over the years and fits perfectly with
our own claim to offer a reliable and broad-based network of
charging solutions throughout Germany."
