ENGIE Signs Partnership With Fiat Chrysler For New E-Mobility Solutions
June 17,2019
ENGIE has signed an agreement with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) for new e-mobility solutions in 14 European countries.
"The Group will supply innovative charging solutions, both for dealers and customers, that will serve the new FCA’s hybrid and full electric models recently announced," ENGIE said
Services will be provided through subsidiaries ENGIE Eps (Electro Power Systems), a provider of energy storage solutions, and EVBox, a manufacturer of electric vehicle charging stations.
ENGIE Eps has been collaborating with FCA since 2016 on innovative solutions for the management of electric vehicle batteries and the related smart charging when the vehicle is parked and connected to the grid.
In addition, EVBox will supply FCA with charging stations for their dealers and customers, and will set up the online platform needed for FCA to manage its growing charging infrastructure in the majority of European markets.
"ENGIE will thus support FCA with all its innovative technology and know-how, implementing the full installation and maintenance of the charging stations for FCA and for approximately 2,800 dealers. Final users will be offered the possibility to have their own charging point at home (wallbox), while in public spaces ENGIE and FCA will develop a dedicated app for easy localization, booking, use and payment. Furthermore, ENGIE will also provide the software and infrastructure to manage FCA’s growing charging network, allowing the automotive group to offer best-in-class services to its customers moving towards electric mobility," ENGIE said
The partnership will involve FCA’s activities in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.
