NHOA Group company Atlante has just inaugurated its fast charging station on the Vinci Autoroutes’ Saint-Léger Ouest service area, located on the A10 highway, south of Saintes on the way to Bordeaux towards Paris. This inauguration celebrates the four stations that Atlante already deployed and is managing for Vinci, for a total of 89 ultra-fast charging points.

The Chavanon (A89, Corrèze) and Marguerittes Sud (A9, Gard) service areas, operational since the end of 2023, offer 25 and 24 ultra-fast charging points respectively. With 15 recharging points, the Meillac area (A10, Gironde), brought into service on 13 June on the A10 north of Bordeaux towards Paris, completes Atlante's offering on the Vinci Autoroutes network.

Last August, while these stations were being rolled out, Atlante installed temporary fast-charging stations equipped with an energy storage system. This technological solution, engineered by Atlante, made it possible to quickly offer a charging solution while waiting for the definitive stations to be brought into service.

These four new stations, open 24 hours a day, are accessible to all electric vehicles and compatible with all charging standards. Their design has been carefully conceived to limit the environmental impact of the construction work carried out by Bouygues Energies & Services and Colas, two Bouygues entities. Bouygues Energies & Services oversaw the sizing and commissioning of the entire installation, while Colas managed the surfacing and installation of draining paving stones to reduce soil sealing. All the stations feature canopies to shelter drivers, lit by discreet LEDs to easily indicate available parking slots, thus reducing light pollution and the site's energy footprint.

Payment at the Atlante charging stations can be made by credit card or with one of the passes available on the Gireve roaming platform, including the Ulys Electric pass.
