Alliander Mobility
Services will realise Arnhem’s electrical charging network
The city of Arnhem
provides Alliander Mobility Services the exclusive right for the realisation, operation,
management and maintenance of a public network of charging stations for a period
of eight years.
The city of Arnhem and
Alliander Mobility Services will collaborate to provide a comprehensive public
charging infrastructure for electrical cars driver in Arnhem.
The city of Arnhem makes
this first step by granting the concession for a network of public charging stations
in Arnhem. By including a, as low as possible load price offer, the parties
wish to make electrical driving more attractive. In Arnhem, the demand for
electric load increases substantially, there are now more than thirty demands
for charging stations . Alliander Mobility Services wants to have the first new
charging stations in place by December 2013.
Applications for electrical charging stations
In the coming months
more than these thirty charging stations will be applied in Arnhem. Via a
special website, www.alliandermobilityservices.com,
other citizens who buy an electrical car can apply for a charging station near
his home.
The concession runs
for a total period of nine years. Alliander Mobility Services will supply, operate,
manage and maintain all charging stations.
Arnhem city electricity
Arnhem makes serious
work to realise its sustainability ambition. Now there are 25 public charging
stations. “With the advent of a much wider network of charging stations for
electric vehicles, we will see on our the streets that Arnhem may call itself a
city electricity”, says Margreet van Gastel, alderman Spatial Planning for the
city of Arnhem.
"We are pleased
with this new cooperation with the city of Arnhem, in a region where the
company has its roots. This tender makes it possible for Arnhem’s residents who
do not yet have their own charging point to make the move to electric driving. In
addition, we made the request for a public charging point for electric vehicles
in Arnhem very simple, "said Anja Niersen , director Alliander Mobility
Services.
Electric driving becomes more popular
The city of Arnhem
wants charging stations at places where people need them. This is one of the
requirements for the concessionaire. The success of electric vehicles is strongly
related with the possibility to be able to recharge. Because Not all citizens
residents businesses in Arnhem have parking place on their own property, for
this reason the city is cooperating with Alliander Mobility Services to make
public charging better accessible.
Electric driving is becoming
increasingly popular with the result; a growing demand for charging stations.
Alliander Mobility Services provides provinces, cities and other customer’s
cost-effective charging solutions. For electric drivers, this means that they
can charge, regardless of supplier, service provider or charging technology.
Anywhere and carefree.
