Delta supplies 800 HPC chargers for McDonald’s in France
The announcement for such a charging network under the label ‘Izivia Fast’ from the charging network operator Izivia, which belongs to the French energy group EDF, was made in November 2023. At the same time, construction began. In addition to Ingeteam, the partners are also relying on Delta Electronics as a supplier.
Delta will supply a total of around 800 UFC 200 charging stations. Each charging station can provide a charging capacity of up to 200 kW. If two DC charging points are used simultaneously, 100 kW is available per charging point. Contrary to what the press images suggest, Delta told electrive that all stations for the charging network are equipped with two CCS and one AC charging option. There may only be differences in the cable lengths. Some also offer Cable Management Systems (CMS).
“We are honoured that IZIVIA has chosen Delta to ultimately serve McDonald’s and their customers, underscoring our dedication to enhancing the EV infrastructure across the EMEA region and beyond. For almost 15 years, Delta has deployed over 3 million EV chargers to our customers worldwide. Delta’s wide range of flexible and efficient EV chargers, coupled with our decades of experience in the energy-saving solutions and in the automotive sector, positions us as a leading choice for EV charging solutions,” said Vincent Lin, Vice President of eMobility & Smart Energy Solutions at Delta EMEA. “Delta’s UFC200 ultra-fast charger has proven to be the optimal solution through rigorous testing, and we are thrilled to partner with Delta in promoting sustainable mobility,” added Christelle Vives, CEO of Izivia, a subsidiary of the EDF Group.
It is not clear from the press release how many sites are already in operation. The only thing that is clear is that an HPC network of over 2,000 charging points is to be installed at more than 700 McDonald’s branches by 2025. Izivia is also not commenting on the investment volume. However, the large-scale project is being co-financed by Crédit Mutuel Impact, the manager of the Siloé Infrastructures fund, which has been in existence since 2020.
With Morrison, the utility group also has another investor on board for the development of a charging network. At the beginning of this year, EDF announced that it was cooperating with infrastructure investor Morrison to invest up to 450 million euros in the construction of almost 8,000 HPC charging points in France by 2030 via a joint financing platform. The HPC chargers are to be operated by EDF subsidiary Izivia. According to Izivia, the charging network it manages currently comprises more than 25,000 charging points. The network would grow significantly with the more than 8,000 new charging points.
