Total has just struck a blow. The French group was selected to install 20,000 electric charging points in the Amsterdam region (Netherlands). It thus rounds up the largest public charging market for electric vehicles in Europe, reports RTL this Wednesday.
This region has 3.2 million inhabitants and concentrates almost 15% of the current demand for charging for electric cars in the country. The energy will be produced in the Netherlands and will be 100% renewable. The terminals will be intelligent (“smart charging”) and will be able to manage peaks in consumption by offering more attractive prices during off-peak hours.

A charging station for seven vehicles in France
These new terminals will be added to the 42,000 already present in the Netherlands. The country will thus have a considerable lead over France, which has only 30,000 recharging points, for a territory that is 15 times larger. The electric car barely covers 2% of the market in France. The current fleet only has one terminal for seven vehicles in circulation, emphasizes RTL.
But it is better to live in a big city to enjoy it. If France is still above the European average, its facilities remain insufficient. A target of 100,000 charging stations within two years has been set. For its part, Total aims to "operate 150,000 charging points in Europe by 2025," said the press release from the French oil group.
