ARNHEM, Netherlands and COPENHAGEN, Denmark – August 9, 2023 – Allego N.V. (“Allego” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ALLG), a leading pan-European public electric vehicle fast and ultra-fast charging network, today announced its collaboration with OIL! Tank & Go, a prominent filling station chain in Denmark, to install ultra-fast chargers across the Danish brand’s network of stations. Fourteen sites are expected to be operationally completed by first quarter 2024.
With parallel commitments to support the transition to electric mobility, the two companies have embarked on a partnership that is unparalleled in Denmark, as no other gas station brand has enlisted an external charging provider for their ultra-fast charging network. To this end, an MOU was signed that permits the installation of Allego chargers at all 80 OIL! Tank & Go filling stations throughout Denmark. The sites set out in this agreement are in addition to the backlog of 1,314 sites Allego announced earlier this year. In the future, this partnership has the potential to extend across OIL! Tank & Go’s 340 locations in Denmark, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Allego’s Chief Executive Officer, Mathieu Bonnet, remarked, “We must ensure that charging infrastructure is commensurate to the growing demand for electric vehicles. Utilizing our proprietary Alamo tool, OIL! Tank & Go locations are well positioned for commuters and travelers representing ideal locations for our EV network. Through this partnership, we are furthering the enablement of a seamless EV driving experience, and the adoption of EVs in Denmark and beyond, and we are elated to share in this mission with OIL! Tank & Go.”
OIL! Tank & Go’s Country Manager, Henrik Schöler, Country Manager, Denmark said of the collaboration, “This partnership allows OIL! Tank & Go to provide a comprehensive array of refilling options to our customers, ensuring they can charge their electric vehicles quickly and efficiently while enjoying the convenience of our fueling stations. Together with Allego, we are supporting the transition to greener transportation and a more sustainable future.”
By 2035, all new cars sold in the European Union must be electric. Efforts are in progress to accommodate this industry-wide pivot; collaborations such as this one will give EV drivers peace of mind as they plan their travels because they will be able to rely on the quality of Allego charging network coupled with the accessibility of OIL! Tank & Go’s stations.
