Dutch provinces, Gelderland and Overijssel have awarded EV charging operators, Ecotap and Allego the concession for installing and operating 4,500 public charging sockets in 43 participating cities.
With this initiative there will be four times more charging sockets available for EV drivers. The first charging sockets will be installed after the summer.

Use will be made of sustainably generated energy from local energy co-operatives and when demand is generally highest, the charging speed will be reduced. EV drivers will be able to disable that reduction, however, if they require faster charging during off-peak hours.
“The objective of Ecotap is to create the best charging infrastructure in the world,” said Ecotap CEO, Kees van Bergen. Being part of a project of this scale is a great opportunity to show that we are capable of executing this objective.
“Even though Ecotap is the main contractor within this project, it is great to have Allego as a provider of charging solutions as they are the specialist within the field of public charging.”
