The charging station operator Bump and the Banque des Territoires announced on Monday an investment of 100 million euros to install “nearly 10,000” electric car charging points in France intended for business fleets.
A branch of the Caisse des Dpts, the Banque des Territoires announced at the end of 2023 a budget of 90 billion euros by 2028 for the ecological transition, the bulk of which will be allocated to housing.
It will create a joint company with Bump, endowed with up to 100 million euros which will make it possible to build charging stations for the fleets of companies newly switching to electric, indicates a joint press release.
This joint company will combine the technical expertise of Bump in the field of recharging professional vehicles, with the financial commitment of Banque des Territoires, continue the two partners.
This involves offering businesses charging points without investment on their part, based only on usage.
According to the press release, the first companies to benefit from this funding will be the certification company Socotec for its light vehicle fleets or the logistics group DPD for heavy goods vehicles.
