Nine operators committed to the carbon-free motorway
Today, 9 charging station operators are present on the 2,320 km of the APRR and AREA motorway networks, with tariff offers between 0.59 and 0.79 euros/km: AVIA, BP, Certas Energy Esso, Engie , e-Vadea Spie, Fastned, Ionity, Tesla and Total Energie.
