Rede Graal Invests in Ultra-Fast Charging Stations for Electric Vehicles

Acquired from ABB, WEG, and BYD, equipment will use Move’s digital platform and will be deployed in 2024

One of the largest highway service station groups in Brazil, Rede Graal will invest around R$ 15 million in ultrafast and semirapid charging stations for electric vehicles. The chargers will be implemented in 37 of the 50 units of the brand during the first half of 2024, located along the main highways in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul.

The 74 units were acquired from the companies WEG, ABB, and BYD. They are capable of charging electric vehicles in just 20 minutes on average, compared to more than 4 or 5 hours with traditional chargers.  There will be two charging stations at each base, utilizing the digital platform and operations and maintenance services from the electric mobility solutions company Move.

Rede Graal has been present in the electromobility market since 2015, when it launched the 1st Intercity Corridor between São Paulo – Campinas – São Paulo through a partnership with CPFL, which resulted in the installation of Eletropostos on the Anhanguera Highway (km 67 São Paulo – interior lane) and on the Bandeirantes Highway (km 56 interior – São Paulo lane), both in Jundiaí-SP.

“We are proud to participate in the new moment of electromobility in Brazil by providing the best possible infrastructure for charging electric and hybrid vehicles on the country’s main highways. The implementation of new Eletropostos is another contribution from the company for a more sustainable and reliable future for those users who travel on the roads,” says Helio Athia Jr., Marketing Director of Rede Graal.
