Allego, a leader in EV charging networks, has partnered with equipment manufacturer Kempower to provide drivers with the highest-powered and most flexible charging solutions across Europe.
Following an extensive period of joint development and rigorous testing, Allego will integrate a new split system into its investment portfolio, according to a press release on GlobeNewswire.
This will provide EV drivers with dynamic power modules and flexible installation options that are adaptable to a wide variety of locations and needs.
"Our collaboration with Kempower reflects Allego's commitment to pioneering advanced charging technologies," said Jean Gadrat, Chief Marketing Officer at Allego.
"By introducing the split system to our network, we provide drivers with the highest power available, supporting the rapid growth of electric mobility across Europe. This also opens applications for truck charging," added Guillaume Goijen, director of charging solutions and site design at Allego.
The company has over 35,000 charging sites across 16 countries, with over 12,500 locations spread throughout Europe.
Kempower recently announced its More Power EV charging solution, which offers additional connection points, higher wattage, and greater versatility, thereby bolstering the network's capability and smoothing the way for further electric vehicle adoption.
Pilot sites are already live in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Sweden, which demonstrate the system's ability to handle diverse environments and use cases.
According to Kempower's website, "It is important to produce durable charging solutions that can withstand extreme conditions, so it helps that our team is accustomed to charging their EVs during harsh climate in the Nordics."
In 2023, the European Union adopted stricter CO2 emission standards for cars and vans to help achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, which is part of its "Fit for 55" package, as explained by the International Energy Agency.
