According to the company, Ascencio specialises in investments in retail properties on the outskirts of cities, with a focus on supermarkets and shopping centres. It is thus hardly surprising that the high-power chargers, which offer charging capacities of up to 400 kW, are to be installed mainly in car parks at such locations. “Retail outlets on the outskirts of towns and cities are strategic locations both for drivers, who can access charge points along major roads and do their shopping while charging, and for retailers, who benefit from the increased footfall of customers on the retail site,” says Thomas Vandervecken, Business Developer Manager Belux at Allego.
However, it is still unclear how the total of 212 planned charging points will be distributed across the 45 locations. It is also not clear from the press release which specific locations will be equipped with charging infrastructure. The only thing that is clear is that construction will begin “once the technical usage analyses have been completed and the necessary permits obtained.”
Incidentally, the project itself does not require any investment on the part of Ascencio. “Our partnership with Allego is a great example of a win-win project as part of Ascencio’s ESG strategy: it aims to move towards carbon neutrality for ground transportation, while making our commercial sites more attractive by offering super-fast charging to our customers, local residents and passing motorists – all at no cost to our retailers,” says Bernard Sergeant, Head of Operations and ESG at Ascencio. “As a European charge point operator, we have the largest public charging network in Belgium (with both slow and ultra-fast charging stations). We have been able to achieve this growth thanks to our landowner partners, such as Ascencio, as well as networks of petrol pumps and road network operators,” adds Vandervecken.
