• Milence builds and operates a charging network for all electric trucks regardless of brand with up to 400 kW charging power

• First truck-compatible EV charging point connected in Venlo (NL)

• 1,700 public truck EV charging points planned across Europe by 2027

DKV Mobility, the leading European B2B platform for on-the-road payment solutions, is expanding its charging network for eTrucks to include high-performance EV charging points with up to 400 kW charging power. The truck charging network is provided by Milence, a Dutch charging point operator based in Amsterdam that specializes in truck-compatible charging solutions. Milence and DKV Mobility subsidiary GreenFlux, which manages DKV Mobility's entire range of charging services for electric vehicles, recently signed a cooperation agreement to this effect. The first truck-compatible charging station was connected in Venlo. Milence plans to put additional charging points into operation in other European countries in the first half of 2024. By 2027, Milence is determined to build and operate 1,700 high-capacity public charging stations across Europe, including megawatt charging systems. The newly added charging stations are accessible via the DKV Card +Charge.

“On our way to more climate-friendly mobility, charging solutions for the transport sector are a crucial lever and an indispensable part of the energy mix of the future. We are delighted to be setting the course for establishing truck-compatible supply solutions for e-mobility through our partnership with Milence”, says Sven Mehringer, Managing Director Energy & Vehicle Services at DKV Mobility.

Roel Vissers, Chief Commercial Officer at Milence, adds: “DKV Mobility is an important player in the industry with a very strong customer base across Europe. We are happy to give their customers access to our charging points and provide a seamless charging experience for truck drivers across Europe in the future as we continue to expand our network. At our locations you can find some of the highest power outputs available today of up to 400 kW CCS* chargers. And we plan a swift transition to Megawatt Charging System (MCS) technology as soon as it becomes available, paving the way for charging speeds of up to and above 1,000 kW. This means that long-haul trucks with battery packages of 600 kWh and driving ranges of about 500 kilometers can be fully charged in just 30-45 minutes as soon as MCS becomes available.”

With around 564,000 public and semi-public EV charge points all over Europe, DKV Mobility is provides access to one of the largest European EV charge point networks.

*CCS stands for Combined Charging System and is a standard connector for fast charging.
