Smappee Smartstop opens tenth fast charging square in Bruges
Tenth location for premium charging network of fast chargers with 100% Belgian innovation and 100% green energy
Sint-Andries Bruges, 28 November 2024 – Smappee, the innovative cleantech company situated in Kortrijk, Belgium, proudly announces the opening of its first fast-charging square in Bruges. This location marks the tenth Smappee Smartstop in Belgium. Smappee Smartstop exclusively uses local renewable energy, takes advantage of variable tariffs, and smartly manages its fast chargers. This ensures EV drivers can charge their vehicles quickly, easily, affordably, and with minimal climate impact. Thanks to its advanced energy management intelligence, this charging square concept can even be deployed in areas at risk of grid overload. Smappee Smartstop supports property owners along secondary roads and high-traffic areas by handling everything from installation to operation.
100% Belgian Innovation, 100% Green Energy
Smappee Smartstop is a rapidly growing network of fast-charging squares and a 100% Belgian innovation by Smappee. It utilizes Smappee Ultra 240S fast chargers, which are manufactured in Belgium, and relies entirely on local renewable energy, strategically located along Belgian roads.
“EV drivers can count on Smappee Smartstop for affordable rates thanks to our intelligent use of energy and variable tariffs,” says Stefan Grosjean, CEO of Smappee Group. “Our AI-based algorithms optimize charging with low-cost energy, considering day-ahead pricing and weather forecasts. With the use of batteries, we store cheap energy for later use during peak pricing periods.”
The Bruges site, located at Torhoutsesteenweg 258, features six fast chargers and twelve standard chargers. Visitors to Quick and Panos can charge their vehicles quickly, while nearby residents or supporters attending Club Brugge or Cercle Brugge soccer matches can charge their vehicles over longer periods.
As a property owner, I chose Smappee to equip my parking lot with stylish charging points that deliver only green energy,” says property owner Julius Sanders. “This not only provides added convenience to my tenants and end customers but also contributes actively to a more sustainable world
