Electric Mobility in Germany: Total Acquires Charging Solutions and Becomes
the Operator of a Network of 2,000 EV Charge Points
Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT) finalized the acquisition from the
Viessmann group of Charging Solutions, the subsidiary specialized in Electric
Vehicle charging infrastructure of its affiliate Digital Energy Solutions
(DES). With this transaction, Total becomes the operator in Germany of a
network of a 2,000 charge points installed at private businesses’ locations,
including some of which are accessible to the general public.
Total also reinforces its technical and commercial competencies in the fields
of installation, operation and management of charging networks dedicated to
fleets and companies. Based in Munich, this new entity of Total Deutschland
will pursue its development by offering complete solutions for electric
charging, including consulting, planification, installation and invoicing of
charging services. Fleet managers will also benefit from adapted solutions for
their employees’ home charging of companies’ cars.
“The ambition of Total is to operate 150,000 charge points in Europe by
2025. The acquisition of Charging Solutions will allow us to accelerate our
development on the German market” declares Alexis Vovk, President for
Marketing & Services at Total. “Electric charging is modifying the
traditional model of energy supply for vehicles, from the distribution at
service-stations to a multi-channel distribution: at work, at home, in public
places, in commercial areas or at service-stations. We expect a strong growth
on the professional and B2B segment and we will be ready to cater to their
needs with dedicated charging solutions.”
The integration of Charging Solutions to the Group’s German affiliate, Total
Deutschland, is effective since November 1(st), 2020. This transfer of
activities will have no impact on the customers nor on the existing partners
of Charging Solutions.
