ENGIE Vianeo, through its subsidiaries ENGIE Solutions and SSEC (a joint venture with CERTAS ENERGY France), has joined forces with Siemens Smart Infrastructure to deploy state-of-the-art electric vehicle charging stations. These are deployed on the networks SANEF (Société des Autoroutes du Nord et de l’Est France), APRR (Autoroutes Paris-Rhin-Rhône), AREA (Société des Autoroutes Rhône-Alpes), and VINCI Autoroutes.
ENGIE Vianeo has selected Siemens technologies to equip 64 freeway rest areas throughout France with electric vehicle (EV) chargers.
Network includes 251 SICHARGE D 300 kW and 69 SICHARGE D 160 kW high-power chargers that can be upgraded to 300 kW.
Hubs with up to 24 charging points equipped for simultaneous charging.
Strengthening the country-wide network of charging stations is crucial to building the mobility of tomorrow where the use of electric vehicles will become increasingly widespread.

SICHARGE D offers a scalable design and dynamic charging capacity.
Combining efficiency and speed, these charging stations deliver modular power from 160 kW to 300 kW. They provide a charge of up to 80 percent in 20 minutes.
Each charging station dynamically distributes the charge between two vehicles simultaneously and features a 24" screen to optimize the user experience.
The chargers’ constant efficiency of more than 95.5 percent optimizes energy expenditures by ensuring optimum power transmission to the vehicles.
