PowerGo has expanded its fast charging network at Jumbo supermarkets across the Netherlands, adding new charging points at locations in several Dutch provinces.
The chargers are publicly accessible and allow electric vehicle drivers to combine charging with a supermarket visit.
New Chargers Added Across Dutch Provinces
During the summer, PowerGo installed new charging points at several Jumbo locations.
In Limburg, Jumbo Beek received two charging points with a maximum capacity of 50 kW. In North Brabant, two 50 kW charging points were installed at each of Jumbo Valkenswaard on Leenderweg, Jumbo Bakel and Jumbo Eersel.
Additional locations were completed shortly before the summer period. At Jumbo Harderwijk on Nassaulaan in Gelderland, two charging points with a maximum capacity of 150 kW were installed.
Jumbo Emmen on Wilhelminastraat in Drenthe received two charging points with a maximum capacity of 50 kW, while Jumbo Nieuwerkerk in Zeeland now has four charging points with a maximum capacity of 90 kW.
PowerGo and Jumbo Have Worked Together Since 2022
PowerGo and Jumbo have collaborated on the development of a fast charging network since 2022.
For each supermarket, PowerGo develops a charging solution based on factors including the location, available space, expected charging demand, grid connection and the requirements of the supermarket.
The charging points are designed using Jumbo’s brand style. PowerGo is responsible for the investment, installation and operation of the charging infrastructure.
“Together with Jumbo, we ensure more EV drivers can charge while they shop. This offers an additional service to customers,” said Bram Vredevoort, Project Manager at PowerGo.
He added that installing chargers at locations regularly visited by EV drivers, including supermarkets, can make charging more accessible. The new chargers are publicly available 24 hours a day.
Charging Network Uses Renewable Electricity Matching
Sustainability is also part of the partnership between Jumbo and PowerGo.
PowerGo says it uses Guarantees of Origin (GoOs) to match each charging session with electricity from Dutch solar parks owned by its parent company, PowerField.
The latest installations add charging capacity to supermarket locations across the Netherlands while allowing customers and other EV drivers to use the infrastructure during their visits.
