At 176 locations over the next seven years
Over the next seven years, a total of around 600 new fast chargers will be installed in the provinces of North Holland, Flevoland and Utrecht. This is a joint tender. The first fast chargers will be ready by the middle of next year.
Municipalities in North Holland, Flevoland and Utrecht have designated 176 locations where construction can take place quickly, both in strategic locations outside built-up areas, but also near shopping areas, sports centers and business parks. The broad collaboration must ensure that the fast chargers are well distributed. In about seven years, a total of approximately 600 fast chargers should have been added spread across the various locations. There will be variable charging rates. For example, it is cheaper when the wind is blowing, when the sun is shining and of course during off-peak hours. What you pay can be seen on a screen at the posts.
It is the first time that municipalities in the Netherlands have conducted a joint tender for fast chargers. More than three-quarters of the 74 municipalities in the three provinces joined forces for this, reports the province of North Holland. Shell Recharge, TotalEnergies and NXT 50five will install, manage and operate the fast chargers. At locations where there is a blockage in the energy grid, the three companies are taking technical measures to make fast charging possible, for example with buffer batteries.
