PARIS \u2014 Renault<\/a> plans to build a network of charging stations for electric cars<\/a> along motorways across Europe, the French carmaker’s e-mobility services unit said on Monday.<\/p>\n

The first charging station will open in a few months in southern France, with 200 more planned to follow by mid-2024 in France, Belgium, Italy<\/a> and Spain, Mobilize said, adding it was in advanced talks with potential partners to finance the network.<\/p>\n

Rolling out an adequate charging infrastructure and offering motorists convenient solutions when traveling is one of the main challenges faced by producers of electric vehicles<\/a>, as batteries<\/a> generally offer less driving radius than fuel tanks and take much longer to recharge.<\/p>\n

Renault, whose share price value has declined almost 70% since early 2018, is far from being a leader in the European electric vehicles market.<\/p>\n

But the company is pushing ahead with plans to split its EV and combustion engine businesses in a bid to compete with rivals such as newcomer Tesla<\/a> and German giant Volkswagen<\/a> in the race to electric driving.<\/p>\n

The new charging stations will be installed at Renault dealerships located close to motorway exits, with dedicated spaces where drivers can rest during the average half-hour charging period.<\/p>\n

They will be accessible around the clock and offer a lounge, playing corners for children and refreshments.<\/p>\n

To avoid the need to install new power grid infrastructure, Mobilize said it would use a stationary storage system the size of a small container which is capable of charging up to six regular cars of any make at the same time.<\/p>\n

“This will allow us to charge these containers very gently, without disrupting the power grid,” said Nicolas Schottey, head of Mobilize Power Solutions.<\/p>\n

Tesla has been rolling out high-performance superchargers for years and has a global network of about 30,000 fast-chargers that it says can give a 200 km (125 mile) boost in 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

Volkswagen expects its network of fast-chargers to nearly quadruple to about 45,000 by 2025, with 18,000 EV pumps in Europe, 17,000 in China<\/a> and 10,000 in North America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
