Allego Secures 14 Ultra Fast Charging Locations Along Major Highways in Flanders, Belgium
January 20 2022 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
- New sites follow two locations that Allego was already granted
in 2020 by the Flemish government
- Expects up to 56 ultra fast chargers to be installed in
upcoming years
Allego Holding B.V. (“Allego” or “the “Company”), a leading
pan-European electric vehicle charging network that recently
announced a business combination with Spartan Acquisition Corp. III
(“Spartan”) (NYSE: SPAQ), has secured 14 new ultra fast charging
locations along major highways in Flanders, Belgium in a project
co-financed by the European Union and the Flemish Agency for Roads
and Traffic (Agentschap Wegen en Verkeer van de Vlaamse overheid)
(“AWV”). These locations build upon two highway locations
previously granted to Allego by the AWV in 2020.
These new ultra fast charging locations are located just offramp
of main highways, at “park and ride” or carpool parking sites, and
are well dispersed along the main transport corridors throughout
Flanders. To initiate the project, Allego will construct 14
charging hubs that will provide a full range of medium charging
speed to ultra fast charging to meet the demands of Flanders’ EV
drivers. In the first phase, Allego expects to install 28 ultra
fast charging stations and to roll out 28 AC sockets by the end of
2022. Allego expects that the second phase of the project will
raise the total number of ultra fast charging stations to 56 by the
middle of 2024. Allego plans to boost the customer experience in
these green field sites by adding a canopy concept to the locations
and ensuring that the ultra fast charging stations have excellent
customer interfaces in multiple languages.
“We are very pleased to have been awarded these 14 new prime
locations, supporting the expansion of our ultra fast charging
network across Belgium. Expanding our network is critical in our
mission to accelerate zero emission mobility. We are additionally
pleased to increase our presence in Belgium, an important nation
for cross-border mobility that connects the Netherlands, France,
Luxembourg and Germany,” said Harold Langenberg, Managing Director
of Allego Belgium. “As the market for electric vehicles continues
to grow rapidly, vehicle owners require proportional scaling of
charging equipment. Allego is here to provide that charging
infrastructure, not only in Flanders, but also across all of
Europe.”
