The facility features a total charging capacity of 3.6 MW, utilizing Kempower’s fast charging solutions, including six 600 kW Kempower Power Units and 36 Kempower Satellites. The satellites are controlled in groups of six and provide between 25 and 400 kW of maximum charging power – the fastest charging speed available anywhere in the Netherlands.
WattHub operates entirely on wind and solar energy and serves as a significant milestone in transitioning the construction industry to renewable energy technologies with zero emissions.
The location’s strategic placement between Rotterdam and the German highway makes it an ideal stop for electric lorry drivers, while Kempower’s ChargEye Depot Master charge management software ensures secure charging monitoring and efficient power distribution.
“We are pleased that WattHub is now open and accessible to Dutch electric vehicle drivers, and that its impressive charging capacity is being fully utilized. The charging plaza has already played an important role in the electrification of fleets and heavy construction equipment in the region and has provided a solution to the previous lack of sufficient infrastructure for charging electric trucks,” said Kempower CEO Tomi Ristimäki.
Tommy van der Sluijs, Business Development Manager EV at TSG Nederland adds:
“The construction of the first WattHub location is a great achievement that we have completed together with Kempower. We are very proud that we can use our decades of experience in (E-)mobility to contribute to zero emissions in construction projects and the charging of heavy equipment.”
