"McDonald’s, or “McDo” as the French say, is installing 2,000 new fast charging
points across 700 car parks in France by 2025. Each McDonald’s charging station
will offer 150-200 kilowatts of power, so you can recharge your car in about
the time it takes to inhale a Big Mac and extra-large frites.
This speaks to a serious need for fast charging stations in France. At the end
of October last year, the country had more than 111,000 public charging points,
but only 8% of them with a power rating of 150 kW or more, with most of those
located a highway service stations. With the McDonald’s deal, the rollout in
France has already begun, starting on the outskirts of Paris. The points will
be provided by Izivia, the EV charging subsidiary of EDF, the companies
confirmed in a statement yesterday. Pricing hasn’t yet been confirmed but will
be “attractive” and competitive, according to the announcement.
France also now requires businesses with more than 20 car parking spaces to
install at least one charging point, with the government targeting 400,000
public charging points by 2030, with 50,000 of those fast charging units.
Advenir, a French government program dedicated to EV charging infrastructure,
recently announced a further €200 million to add to its pot to expand the
country’s charging points.
Christelle Vives, managing director of Izivia, said that the charging points
will be “supplied by green energy (wind, solar, hydroelectricity) to guarantee
the lowest possible CO2 levels.” Over the course of the 12-year partnership
between Izivia and McDonald’s, the fast charging stations will provide an
estimated 9.4 billion km worth of power, saving 1.7 million tonnes of CO2, she
added."
