TotalEnergies går ind på det danske lademarked for elbiler
TotalEnergies er blevet udvalgt af Vejdirektoratet som en af de operatører, der skal udbygge ladeinfrastrukturen langs statsvejnettet. Allerede i år opsætter TotalEnergies koncernens første lyn-ladestandere i Danmark, og de kommer til at stå ved Thisted. Dermed får borgere og besøgende i Limfjordsbyen nemmere ved at lade elbilen op.
København 10. august 2023: De nye ladestandere i Thisted bliver en del af en større udrulning af danske lyn-ladefaciliteter, hvor TotalEnergies er blevet udvalgt af Vejdirektoratet som en af de operatører, der skal udbygge ladeinfrastrukturen langs statsvejnettet. Konkret skal TotalEnergies drive fire ladepunkter, placeret på to ladestandere, der hver har en kapacitet på 300 kilowatt. Ladestanderne er klar til brug inden årets udgang.
“Vi er glade for at kunne tage dette første skridt og blive en del af elektrificeringen af trafikken i Danmark, som jo er en af de sektorer, der udleder mest CO2. I Danmark forventer vi, at ladestanderne ved Thisted blot er begyndelsen på opbygningen af et netværk af ladestandere til både person- og lastbiler. Vi ser et stort potentiale” siger direktør for TotalEnergies Danmark Martin Rune Pedersen og tilføjer: “TotalEnergies bringer stærk erfaring med opladning til elbiler ind på det danske marked, og det nye tiltag er helt i tråd med vores ambition om at omstille virksomheden til fremtidens energiformer.”
Solid erfaring som operatør af ladestandere i Europa
TotalEnergies driver i dag over 30.000 ladestandere til elbiler i Europa og har et mål om at femdoble antallet frem mod 2025. Energivirksomheden kommer således med solid erfaring inden for vedvarende energi og e-mobilitet, og er klar til at bidrage til de danske nationale ambitioner om øget elektrificering og dekarbonisering af vejtransporten, herunder også den tunge transport.
Ladestandere til elbiler er blot et af de seneste skridt på vejen i den globale transformation, som TotalEnergies har iværksat. Virksomheden er ved at omstille sin globale forretning, så man opnår klimaneutralitet i alle globale aktiviteter i 2050 sammen med samfundet som helhed. Porteføljen tæller allerede nu 19 gigawatt installeret kapacitet af vedvarende energi, svarende til forbruget hos 19 millioner husstande med et elforbrug som det danske. I 2023 forventer TotalEnergies at investere mere end 30 milliarder kroner i fremtidens energiformer.

TotalEnergies enters the Danish market for electric vehicle charging
TotalEnergies has been selected as one of the contractors by the Danish Road Directorate to develop an electric vehicle charging infrastructure along the national road network. This year, TotalEnergies will install its first fast-charging stations in Thisted, Denmark, making electric vehicle charging more accessible for locals and visitors
Copenhagen, August 10th, 2023 - The new chargers in Thisted are part of a larger nationwide rollout of fast-charging facilities by the Danish Road Directorate. Specifically, TotalEnergies will operate four fast-charging points, placed on two charging stations, each with a capacity of 300 kilowatts. The charging stations are expected to be fully operational and available for public use by end of this year.
"We are delighted to take this first step and become part of the electrification of transport in Denmark, which is one of the sectors emitting the most CO2. In Denmark, we anticipate that the charging stations in Thisted are just the beginning of establishing a network of charging points for both cars and trucks. We see a significant potential", says Country Chair in Denmark Martin Rune Pedersen, and adds: “TotalEnergies brings extensive experience in electric vehicle charging to the Danish market, in line with the company’s commitment to transitioning to future energy sources."
A solid operator experience with charging stations in Europe
With a track record of already operating over 30,000 charging stations in Europe, TotalEnergies has ambitious plans to increase this number fivefold by 2025. The company's extensive experience in renewable energy and e-mobility can support Denmark's official goals of increased electrification and decarbonization of road transport, including lorries and other heavy transport.
Charging stations for electric vehicles is just one of several strategic initiatives supporting TotalEnergies' ongoing transformation to achieve carbon neutrality in all global activities by 2050. The company's portfolio already includes 19 gigawatts of installed capacity in renewable energy, equivalent to powering capacity of 19 million households with an average Danish power consumption. In 2023, TotalEnergies expects to invest more than 30 billion DKK in the future energy sources.
