French charging operator Electra continues to expand its network of fast charging stations in the Netherlands. On the A4, near KFC Vlaardingen, the company opened a charging station with two charging poles that have a capacity of 400 kW.

For Electra, the opening of the fast-charging station at KFC is part of its wider collaboration with Ruval Real Estate, manager of KFC’s real estate sites. Together, they will realise four fast-charging stations at branches of the fast-food chain in Vlaardingen, Utrecht, Delft and Lelystad in the near future. The new station in Vlaardingen is the second of the four and consists of two charging stations with a total of four charging points, each with a capacity of 400 kW. Earlier in November, the very first Electra fast-charging station at a KFC outlet in the Netherlands was opened. This is located in Utrecht on the A2 motorway and features four charging points, each with a capacity of 300 kW.

Electra says these new locations fit the company’s vision to enable fast charging in urban locations where customers have access to catering and/or retail activities. “We are extremely pleased with the opening of the second Electra fast charging station at a KFC outlet in the Netherlands,” says Louis-Charles Mosseray, General Manager Electra BeNeLux. “By choosing urban locations near catering outlets like KFC, we offer visitors the opportunity to quickly charge their car while also enjoying a meal, so charging no longer feels like waiting.”

Besides the fast charging station in Vlaardingen, Electra has locations in Sliedrecht, Utrecht, Maastricht, Heumen and Vierlingsbeek. The company also recently opened a charging station in Beilen, Drenthe, in the car park of a casino. The aim is to establish 100 fast-charging stations in the Netherlands by 2030.
