Fleet managers will also benefit from adapted solutions for their employees’ home charging of companies’ cars.
“The ambition of Total is to operate 150,000 charge points in Europe by 2025. The acquisition of Charging Solutions will allow us to accelerate our development on the German market” declaresAlexis Vovk, President for Marketing & Services at Total. “Electric charging is modifying the traditional model of energy supply for vehicles, from the distribution at service-stations to a multi-channel distribution: at work, at home, in public places, in commercial areas or at service-stations. We expect a strong growth on the professional and B2B segment and we will be ready to cater to their needs with dedicated charging solutions.”
The integration of Charging Solutions to the Group’s German affiliate, Total Deutschland, is effective since November 1st, 2020. This transfer of activities will have no impact on the customers nor on the existing partners of Charging Solutions.
