Emil Frey France, in collaboration with Atlante, is set to revolutionize the electric vehicle (EV) charging landscape in France.
With the aim of meeting the increasing demand for ultra-fast charging infrastructure, the automotive retailer has embarked on an ambitious project to install 80 fastcharging stations across its Autosphere network.
This strategic move not only aligns with the growing trend towards electric mobility but also underscores Emil Frey France’s commitment to providing cutting-edge services to its customers.
By partnering with Atlante, a leading provider of fastcharging solutions, Emil Frey France aims to offer a seamless and efficient charging experience to EV owners.
The deployment of these fastcharging stations is not only aimed at catering to existing customers but also at attracting new ones.
By offering a convenient and reliable charging solution, Emil Frey France hopes to position itself as a leader in the EV charging market.
The partnership with Atlante also reflects Emil Frey France’s commitment to sustainability.
The fastcharging stations will enable owners to recharge their electric vehicles with renewable energy, further supporting the transition to eMobility.
The first Atlante charging site has already been installed at the Autosphere dealership in La Teste-de-Buch, with plans to install around 15 stations by 2025.
These stations will be strategically located in medium-sized cities, near major roadways, and dynamic business areas, ensuring accessibility and convenience for EV owners.
By embracing this initiative, Emil Frey France is not only demonstrating its commitment to environmental sustainability but also its dedication to providing innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of its customers.
With the deployment of these fastcharging stations, the french company is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of electric mobility in France.
