The Belgian renewable energy company Storm and Q8 will together launch Belgium’s pioneering full-service EV fast-charging network. Kempower will deliver its charging solutions to the first stations.
The partnership aims to establish up to 200 fast-charging stations at strategic locations in the next five years, revolutionizing the EV driving experience in the country.
The new fast-charging stations, integrated with shops and restaurants, will redefine convenience and accessibility for users.
The roll-out will take place starting from the summer of 2024.
The first four locations are planned to open by the middle of July in Beringen, Aalter, Waasmunster and Kampenhout.
The new charging hubs will offer up to 400 kilowatts of power per hub.
The delivered Kempower solutions include Power Units and Satellites (both CCS2 and CHAdeMO).
In addition to electric passenger cars, these stations will accommodate electric light trucks and vans.
Payment can be settled using all current charging cards, with the Q8 electric app, and with any debit or credit card.
In addition, each charger will be accessible to people with disabilities.
“This new full-service charging network is a major step in the development of the charging infrastructure in Belgium and supports the electrification of the country’s transportation,” states Tommi Liuska, Chief Sales Officer, Kempower.
“By delivering our reliable and user-friendly fast charging solutions to Storm and Q8, we are helping to shape a future where charging infrastructure is seamlessly connected to the everyday lives and needs of EV drivers,” he adds.
