Fast charging network operator Atlante and shopping center operator Groupe Duval have announced plans to deploy new 130 fast and ultra-fast charging stations as part of their long-term partnership. The announcement was made as the first site—located in Saint-Chamond in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in Central France—was powered on. That site now offers 188 fast charging ports. The two companies aim to have all 130 sites, with a total of 1,200 charging ports, up and running by 2025.

The new stations are accessible to those with disabilities and are open 24 hours a day. The companies said that the stations are compatible with all charging standards, are available on all major electric mobility applications, and accept direct credit card payments.

“Our day-to-day objective is to facilitate the use of electric vehicles in France and Europe, and that means having a dense network and a high-quality service environment,” said the CEO of Atlante France, Jacques Galvani.
