Shurgard and Leap24 expand with fast charging station in Eindhoven: ‘Realising zero-emission hubs’

Shurgard Self-Storage en Leap24 hebben maandag een snellaadstation geopend bij de Shurgard-vestiging aan de Wekkerstraat in Eindhoven.
Volgens de initiatiefnemers is de gezamenlijke laadlocatie een efficiënte oplossing in het licht van de invoering van zero-emissiezones.

Shurgard Self-Storage and Leap24 opened a fast-charging station at the Shurgard store on Wekkerstraat in Eindhoven on Monday. The station features two 120-kW fast-charging spots. The opening marks a “milestone” in the cooperation, according to both companies.

The fast-charging station is part of the joint ‘storage & charge’ concept that allows entrepreneurs to charge vehicles while loading and unloading goods. According to the companies, this is an efficient solution in light of the introduction of zero-emission zones. Since 1 January 2025, Eindhoven has had a zero-emission zone for trucks and delivery vehicles: all new vehicles entering the zones must be completely emission-free.

Zero-emission hubs

“The beauty of the partnership with Shurgard is that we are actually realising zero-emission hubs,” says Leap24 founder Pelle Schlichting. “Companies operating in zero-emission zones can store or collect their goods and recharge their vehicle in the same time. Loading and unloading the warehouse and charging the vehicle take almost the same amount of time. That makes this a particularly efficient solution as well as a competitive advantage for entrepreneurs in urban areas.”

More locations

Shurgard and Leap24 say they intend to open more joint loading locations in the Netherlands and other European countries. The collaboration between the two companies aims to create emission-free mobility hubs in urban areas, where storage and charging infrastructure go hand in hand. Besides Eindhoven, there are charging locations in Groningen and Amersfoort, and seven stations are in operation in London.

The opening of the Eindhoven fast-charging station will be celebrated 4 September with a price action. Charging there will cost 1 cent per kWh.
