Renault’s mobility brand Mobilize and French energy company NW have signed an agreement to create a joint venture in the field of electric vehicle charging combined with energy storage. The future joint venture aims to reduce charging costs while maximising the use of decarbonised electricity.
The partnership between Mobilize and NW aims to reduce charging costs for electric vehicle users while maximising the use of decarbonised electricity. The expertise of both sides will complement each other: Mobilize will contribute its knowledge of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. NW, in turn, will provide its expertise in the field of electricity storage and charging infrastructure.
“At Mobilize, we are committed to playing a key role in the energy transition. This alliance with NW allows us to combine our expertise to offer charging and energy storage solutions that are both innovative and sustainable. Together, we aim to transform the European energy landscape and address the energy challenges of tomorrow,” says Gianluca De Ficchy, CEO of Mobilize.
“For NW, the concept of Industry 4.0, also known as the fourth industrial revolution, represents a new way of organizing production resources. This industry of the future enables the convergence of digital technology and digitalization with products and/or physical world infrastructures,” explained Jean-Christophe Kerdelhué, founder and president of NW. The joint venture has the potential to create a unique and innovative offering that will accelerate the use of electric cars.
The NW Group is developing a range of solutions to make the energy transition more accessible. NW is the French market leader in electricity storage with its JBox and has been building a network of fast charging stations in France under the name IECharge since 2021.
