Amsterdam, Netherlands: Total will install and operate up to 20,000 new public charging points in the Netherlands, in the three provinces of North-Holland, Flevoland and Utrecht.
Metropolitan Region Amsterdam Electric has awarded Europe’s largest concession contract for electric vehicles to address the fast-growing demand for public electric vehicle charging points in the Netherlands.
The network covers 3.2 million inhabitants and around 15% of the current Netherlands electric vehicle charging demand.
Total Netherlands’ is already the main EV charging operator in the MRA-Electric region, with over 4,500 public charging points under operation and accessible to the public.
Electricity supplied by Total Netherlands to the EV charging network will all be sourced from renewable power and produced in the country. Total Netherlands has additionally pledged to gradually source part of it from the MRA region itself, enabling EV drivers to charge their electric vehicles with locally-generated and sustainable energy.
The project is a cooperation of governments in the region aimed at stimulating electromobility in the three provinces North-Holland, Flevoland and Utrecht and the municipalities within these provinces that include some 18% of the population in the Netherlands and the country’s most robust economic region.
Total is a major energy player that produces and markets fuels, natural gas and low-carbon electricity.
