RWE provides charging stations for electric vehicles

Amsterdam City Council has ambitious environmental targets and is planning for 10,000 electric cars by 2015. The city already has about 100 publicly accessible charging points, which makes Amsterdam one of Europe’s trendsetters in the introduction of electric cae.

“This contract is very important for Essent and RWE. It’s the first time in the Netherlands that electric mobility will cover an entire city and become part of the scenery,” says Peter Terium, CEO of Essent. “The charging stations we are setting up in Amsterdam have been developed by RWE and have so far been installed in numerous European countries, including Germany, Poland, Hungary and Austria.

“After Berlin, we see Amsterdam as our second European metropolitan project where we are seeking to implement a mobility scheme for an entire city,” says Ingo Alphéus, CEO of RWE Effizienz GmbH. “Electric mobility is being promoted particularly swiftly in the Netherlands. So we can learn from our shared experiences and then apply these to other cities.”

RWE provides intelligent European-wide system solutions for electric car charging facilities. RWE is already operating over 800 charging points in 14 European countries. Its customers in each country include, above all, local councils and authorities, energy utilities and fleet operators.
