TotalEnergies Launches In-Depot Charging for Electric Trucks

December 02, 2023

TotalEnergies, a French EVSE maker, announced the launch of an in-depot electric truck charging service at the SOLUTRANS road and urban transportation trade show. They will install and supervise customized charging infrastructure to support transporters’ transition to electric mobility.

Now that electric trucks have sufficient driving range to handle urban and regional deliveries (150 to 500 kilometers per day), TotalEnergies is hoping to capitalize on the market.

The solution optimizes the time trucks are parked in the depot (generally 12 hours) to effectively recharge the battery to 100%, and ultra-fast charge points (up to 400 kW) for extra charging needs.

TotalEnergies will work with customers to determine the size of charging infrastructure needed for their fleets, install the charge points, supply green electricity, provide management and supervision tools along with a smart charging solution to optimize fleet charging, and offer 24/7 customer support.

To serve transporters’ charging needs outside their depots, TotalEnergies will also install charge points along Europe’s road corridors starting in 2024. These will include high power charge points (HPC1) during mandatory breaks on long trips and slow charge points at rest areas to charge while drivers are sleeping.

“In order to decarbonize road transportation on a large scale, it is critical to develop infrastructure and provide transporters with low-carbon solutions. Backed by our close ties with the transport sector and our strong position in electric mobility in Europe, TotalEnergies has developed a solution tailored to transporters’ needs to support them in their fleet management and energy transition,” said Mathieu Soulas, Senior Vice President New Mobilities & Marketing at TotalEnergies.

TotalEnergies, with over 53,000 charge points in operation by 2023, promotes the development of electric mobility by investing significantly in the deployment of charging infrastructures for electric vehicles. T
