On Friday, July 11, Opcharge reached a beautiful milestone: the installation of our very first fast charger. This 50 kW DC charger has been installed at the Meerenakkerplein in Eindhoven. A familiar location for Opcharge, where several AC chargers are already active.
The site is managed by property management company Profinn. Present during the festive moment was Michael Tuhumury of Profinn, as well as APK Rasenberg, who earlier that morning carried out the final work to make the realization possible.
“We find that people often stay at this location for a short time or need to move on quickly. That’s why it makes sense to install a fast charger in addition to AC chargers. That way we can respond even better to user needs.
In addition, there was capacity left at this location on the customer’s existing connection, which made it possible to add the fast charger in a cost-effective and sustainable way.”Andre Verhees
Focused on convenience for employees and customers
The fast charger is intended for employees and customers of tenant Bechtle. Thanks to this extension, they can largely charge their electric vehicles in 20 to 40 minutes. Ideal during a work visit, short appointment or lunch break.
In doing so, Bechtle adds an additional service for its staff and visitors, and contributes to a future-proof energy policy.
Collaboration as an accelerator
As charge point operator, Opcharge provides the complete charging solution: from investment and installation to management and maintenance. In cooperation with Profinn and APK Rasenberg, this DC charger was successfully added to the existing AC charging infrastructure on site.
And this is just the beginning. More locations will soon follow where fast charging becomes part of our network, tailored to the specific needs of on-site users.
