In view of the boom in electromobility and 100% electric cars, which currently account for around 8% of new car registrations in Luxembourg, TotalEnergies Luxembourg has decided to launch a recharging service for electric vehicles aimed at professionals.
“We already have customers who are very interested in our offer and we hope to install more than a thousand electric charging stations in the next five years,” says Eric Bleyer, mobility and new energy director of TotalEnergies in Luxembourg.
TotalEnergies is aimed at companies that want to recharge a fleet of electric vehicles. The oil company is promising to set up an entire recharging installation for employees driving electric company cars, from charging stations at work to others on the road via the TotalEnergies multi-energy card. This card allows you to recharge your electric vehicle at more than 200,000 public charging points in Europe, including the in Luxembourg.
The oil company goes even further by installing a charging point at the home of the employee in question if necessary, e.g. for those with a company electric vehicle. Reflecting the composition of the Luxembourg labour market, this offer is aimed both at employees living in the grand duchy and cross-border commuters. The formula includes an option for automatic reimbursement of the energy consumed by the employee at home for their electric vehicle and its rebilling to the company.

According to data from the French group, which has already developed this strategy in several countries, 27% of recharges take place at the workplace, 14% on the road (i.e. on a public network such as Chargy) and 7% at service stations, especially in the case of long journeys on the motorway. Finally, 52% of charging takes place at home.
