The entire electricity needs of this network will be covered by green electricity produced by TotalEnergies, notably from offshore wind farms, allowing Antwerp’s EV users to benefit from a 100% renewable electricity charge for their vehicles.

"We are very pleased to have been entrusted by the City of Antwerp with this concession over the coming years, and we will use our expertise to support the evolution of mobility for its citizens.

Based on realistic forecasts, it allows us to meet the needs for charging infrastructures in Antwerp, while at the same time responding rapidly and efficiently to the concrete questions posed by the development of electric mobility in the city," said Koen Kennis, First Alderman in charge of mobility for the city of Antwerp. "The city of Antwerp and its citizens are indeed very keen to allow a judicious and reasonable deployment of charging stations in the streets, in order to preserve the urban aesthetics, while keeping a fair number of parking spaces for the inhabitants.”
