AN AMBITIOUS PROGRAM

While more and more French people are opting for electric vehicles, one of the main challenges is to provide a sufficient number of EV charging stations that are accessible to all.

Aware of this challenge, Carrefour has entrusted Driveco, major player in electric mobility in France, to equip all Carrefour Market supermarkets with charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. This responds to Carrefour’s desire to facilitate mobility and meet the needs of its customers while strengthening its commitment to – and mobilization in favor of – clean energy.

This partnership will allow Carrefour to offer its customers access to more than 3,000 charging points, mixing comfort charges (22kW) and a majority of fast and ultra-fast terminals (50kW to 180kW).

600 CHARGING STATIONS ON CARREFOUR MARKET'S PARKING LOTS

Driveco has invested more than 100 million euros in this project, in order to deploy 3,000 charging points in 2 years, which will result in the largest EV charging station network in France, with an unequaled territorial coverage. At the peak of deployment, an opening will take place every day.

“The ambitious deployment in Carrefour Market supermarkets complements the equipment that we currently roll-out in our hypermarkets, and demonstrates Carrefour’s commitment to the energy transition, at the service of our customers and the regions.”

DRIVECO’S NEW FINANCING MODEL TAILORED FOR RETAILERS

As the owner and operator of charging stations for electric vehicles, Driveco is at the heart of the entire process, from scoping to manufacturing and maintenance. It invests in terminals, builds the infrastructure, operates its stations and sells charging sessions to drivers.

This model is particularly suitable for retailers, as it has several advantages for landowners.

This model allows them to respond to the demands of their consumers, to fulfill their obligations vis-Ă -vis regulations like the French mobility orientation law (LOM), while generating income since Driveco rents the parking lot to the owner. Driveco supports the investment in the stations, provides quality service to end customers and can attract new drivers to the stores.

DRIVECO, A PIONEER IN FRANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL AMBITIONS

Since its creation in 2010, Driveco has always been one step ahead in the electric charging market. The group is now a major player in electric mobility thanks to its turnkey and tailor-made offer to support its customers during all stages of the project: from the study tailored to each customer, to the manufacturing and installation of charging stations, but also their supervision and maintenance, Driveco is known as a reliable and responsive partner for its many customers.

“The trust that Carrefour has placed in us to carry out a project of such magnitude is a testimony to our expertise and the reliability of our technological solution. For 12 years, we have put end-users at the heart of our strategy by offering a premium service and universal charging solutions.”
