Leading industry players in the EV charging infrastructure sector have come together to form a new alliance to support the roll-out of consumer-centric EV policies in Europe. Allego, ChargePoint and EVBox Group, who together have more than 150,000 charging ports in their networks across the EU, announced the launch of ChargeUp Europe during the REVOLUTION Digital online event and called on other like-minded companies in the EV industry to join the cause.
ChargeUp Europe starts with the three founding members Allego, EVBox and ChargePoint and is already in the process of welcoming new members. The purpose of ChargeUp Europe is to enable a swift and efficient roll-out of EV charging infrastructure in Europe. The alliance will work on realising EU policies that support investment in charging infrastructure, remove market barriers and facilitate the smooth uptake of EVs and a seamless experience for EV drivers.
ChargeUp Europe forms at a time when the EU, through the Green Deal, aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 while at the same time demand for EVs is rising sharply. It is predicted to see 44 million electric vehicles on European roads by 2030. In order to ensure that infrastructure development keeps pace with the growing uptake of EVs and enables the shift to electric transport, ChargeUp Europe will work towards getting the right market conditions in place that incentivises investment and delivers a consumer-centric, open market model for charging infrastructure in Europe.
ChargeUp Europe has scheduled its launch event for the summer in Brussels. Given current circumstances with regard to the coronavirus (COVID-19), this is subject to change. To keep track of all developments, visit the website: www.chargeupeurope.eu.
