Driven by a shared commitment to providing innovative and cost-effective solutions across the country, Les Mousquetaires Group—a major player in the French retail sector—and NW, France’s first energy transition unicorn and a major player in electric mobility, have formed a partnership aimed at installing high-power charging stations for electric vehicles at Les Mousquetaires stores (Intermarché, Netto, Bricomarché, Bricorama, Brico Cash, Roady, and Rapid Pare-Brise) .
A partnership to boost purchasing power… As part of this partnership, the Les Mousquetaires Group is joining forces with the NW Group to offer its customers high-power charging at the most competitive price on the French market: €0.30 per kWh.
…which makes electric mobility accessible to everyone. The partnership involves installing IECharge® charging stations across all regions, with a focus on rural and suburban areas, at the group’s various retail outlets (Intermarché, Netto, Bricomarché, Bricorama, Brico Cash, Roady, and Rapid Pare-Brise). This summer, the solution will initially be offered at around 100 retail locations, with the first IECharge® stations expected to go live in Mousquetaires parking lots in 2024.
…showcasing French technological innovation. Deployed at the Group’s retail locations, IECharge® stations are connected to JBox® storage units and use the energy stored in the batteries to power vehicles. Thanks to this system, the power grid is protected and no imbalance is created, even when multiple cars are charging simultaneously. This groundbreaking process in the electricity storage and electric mobility sectors is patented worldwide.
This partnership for the deployment of IECharge® solutions is a significant step that demonstrates the commitment of NW and the Les Mousquetaires Group to improving the energy efficiency of their retail locations.
“Since its inception, the Les Mousquetaires Group has aimed to improve its value proposition to be more competitive in all regions where its stores operate. Affordability must be a priority in both the products and services we offer our customers. The IECharge® solution is fully aligned with this commitment and supports the energy transition initiative led by the Group,“ says Bruno Breyne, a Mousquetaires business owner in charge of the Energy Division at the Les Mousquetaires Group.
”The Les Mousquetaires Group shares NW’s values: we are independent retailers, driven by a strong desire to provide high-quality, innovative solutions at the best price to as many people as possible across all regions. I am proud of this partnership, which reinforces our mission to make the energy transition accessible to all,” says Jean-Christophe Kerdelhué, Executive Chairman and founder of NW.
