In light of the increasing demand for electric vehicles in Luxembourg, the government aims to create a vast network of 90 ultra-fast charging points across 18 service stations by 2024.
Already last year, various SuperChargy stations were unveiled on Luxembourg’s motorways and urban areas, but the government stresses the importance of including rural areas. Minister for Mobility and Public Works François Bausch speaks of a significant step towards increasing the density of ultra-fast charging infrastructure in Luxembourg.
“Given the rapid electrification of the car fleet, with more than 33,000 electric cars registered in Luxembourg, it is crucial that a charging infrastructure adequate to this demand is built throughout the country and not just along motorways and in urban centres,” he explained in conversation with RTL.
Now that Hosingen sports its very own SuperChargy station, “the charging network in northern Luxembourg is further strengthened”, making it easier to travel in a 100% electric car along the N7.
Also Minister for Energy Claude Turmes welcomes the commissioning of the ultra-fast charging points, portraying them as “an important step for the inhabitants of the north of the country. These charging points, like all public charging points in Luxembourg, are powered 100% by green electricity, which helps us to combat climate change by moving towards mobility with low CO₂ emissions.”
The installation of the SuperChargy charging points, which will be carried out by the network operator Creos and is partly funded by the European Union’s NextGenerationEU programme, will cover Luxembourg until 2024.
The next service areas to benefit from additional fast-charging stations in 2023 are Wasserbillig, Micheville, Lorentzweiler, and Remich.
