Electra continues to expand, opens new charging station at KFC Vlaardingen
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.
