It’s a fraction of the potential market in the country and Tritium said it was a “first order”.
France has a goal to install 100,000 public charging points by 2030 and Driveco has a goal to have 60,000 in Europe.
“Driveco is expanding and diversifying its 8000-plus charge-point network with several marquee partnerships across hospitality, retail, and aerospace,” Tritium said.
“The fast chargers in this order will primarily be installed at the world’s eighth-largest retailer, with over 1000 supermarkets, nearly 4000 convenience stores, and 248 hypermarkets in France alone.”
Chief executive Jane Hunter said it was a pivotal milestone in the European market.
“The initial order of 200 fast chargers … underscores our commitment to European EV drivers who we have been supporting with globally-leading chargers since 2014,” Hunter said.
Driveco has also bought service level agreements.
