Engie Vianeo has chosen Siemens to equip 64 relaxation stops in France with high-power charging stations. The Engie subsidiary rolled out 320 cost columns from Siemens’ Sicharge line, which delivers as much as 300 kW.
Vianeo is the brand new charging infrastructure model of Engie. Launched in June, the corporate goals to put in 12,000 charg3 factors for electrical automobiles and business autos in France by 2025. The chargers introduced in the present day are a part of this effort, and Siemens says some “hubs embody as much as 24 charging factors outfitted for simultaneous charging”.

The German expertise firm’s Sicharge columns shall be deployed within the SANEF (Société des Autoroutes du Nord et de l’Est France), APRR (Autoroutes Paris-Rhin-Rhône), AREA (Société des Autoroutes Rhône-Alpes) and VINCI Autoroutes motorway networks.
Particularly, the order contains 251 DC chargers delivering 300 kW and 69 Sicharge D with 160 kW that may be upgraded to 300 kW. Every charging station “dynamically distributes the cost between two autos concurrently and includes a 24″ display screen to optimise the consumer expertise,” writes Siemens. The corporate additionally claims a continuing effectivity of greater than 95.5 per cent, which ensures “optimum energy transmission” to the autos.
Vianeo says France handed the milestone of 100,000 public charging stations open to the general public and cites Avère France estimating between 330,000 and 480,000 charging stations shall be wanted by 2030.
“Strengthening the country-wide community of charging stations is essential to constructing the mobility of tomorrow,” stated Didier Liautaud, Managing Director of Engie Vianeo. “We may also want foolproof expertise to make sure the cautious administration of our power assets and a really excessive degree of charging station availability,” he added, calling Siemens an “splendid accomplice”.

Olivier Delassus, Director of the eMobility enterprise at Siemens Sensible Infrastructure France, stated they shared the “dedication to low-carbon mobility that’s as accessible as attainable”. He harassed the “scalable design and dynamic charging capability” of the Sicharge D collection.
Siemens launched the high-power charger suite in 2021 with public HPC websites in thoughts and future-proof expertise—the VersiCharge collection, then again, targets residential and business installations.
Again to France. Engie Vianeo built-in about 1,000 present Engie cost factors when it launched its enterprise a number of weeks in the past. By 2025, 11,000 extra connections shall be accessible underneath the model. Engie will concentrate on HPC hubs at motorway websites as much as 300 kW for 57 cents/kWh and at Esso filling stations operated with accomplice Certas Vitality France for 69 cents/kWh. Engie Vianeo says it is going to additionally assist municipalities and firms with an entire decarbonisation package deal, starting from the set up of charging infrastructure and energy provide to upkeep and servicing.
It’s unclear whether or not Siemens will stay the only real provider.
