ubitricity, manufacturer and operator of charging solutions for electric vehicles and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Shell Group, has secured a public tender from the French Metropolitan Community of Le Havre Seine to install 534 public AC and DC electric vehicle charge points in 172 locations.
The installation of the first 22-kilowatt AC chargers will begin in summer 2022, with 478 AC charge points to be installed by the end of 2024. In addition, ubitricity will operate 56 rapid charge points with a capacity of up to 150 kilowatts. The charge points aimed at residential and tourist use, will be available across the region. The locations of all charging points will be determined in close coordination with local authorities.
Better access to EV charging for residents and visitors
As a provider and operator of lamp post charge points, ubitricity has significant experience advising local governments on their public EV charging infrastructure needs. For this tender, ubitricity will also leverage the resources and capabilities of Shell’s European e-mobility business in order to offer the full range of charging solutions.
