Greenspot is deploying Kempower fast-charging infrastructure across 30 retail sites in France. The project, scheduled for completion by the end of 2027, utilizes a standardized design featuring four charging points per location, powered by a central 200 kW unit. This modular system allows for dynamic power distribution among connected vehicles and supports future capacity expansion without requiring initial over-provisioning.
The infrastructure is specifically tailored for supermarkets and retail locations with medium-sized parking areas. By utilizing the French commercial electricity tariff, these sites avoid the need for dedicated transformer stations, which lowers both construction time and capital expenditure. Five locations are already active, including sites at Bricomarché, Intermarché, and three Aldi branches.
Greenspot manages the entire investment, installation, and operational process, removing financial burdens from the retailers. The company currently operates over 1,500 charging points in France and has set a target to reach 8,500 points by 2030. Founded in 2016, Greenspot specializes in charging solutions for corporate and retail environments.
Kempower is actively exploring various financing models to facilitate infrastructure growth. Beyond the French partnership, the company recently launched a leasing project in the UK to reduce upfront costs for operators. These initiatives are part of a broader strategy to accelerate the rollout of fast-charging networks by minimizing the financial barriers for site owners.
