Ultra-fast charging is offered at discount prices in a Lidl store near Lyon, where you can benefit from a power of up to 360 kW at a cost of 40 euro cents per kW compared to the 90 cents that on average are spent for such a service .
A choice that focuses on downward prices in line with the company's policy, we learn from the pages of Autocar.co.uk.
This is a strategy that will see, in the near future, as underlined by Automobile Propre, the opening of another 3 Lidl branded e-stations in France, in other areas adjacent to the motorway.
After that of Villefranche-sur-Saone, it will be the turn of the charging stations of Les Pennes-Mirabeau, Landivisiau, and Tourcoing.
At the basis of this pricing policy we also find Lidl's choice in France to build and manage the charging stations autonomously.
Furthermore, unlike other energy supply sites, Lidl charging stations are sheltered and illuminated to offer greater comfort and safety.
Finally, they have solar panels on the roof to supplement the power supply for the chargers.
Unlike other points of sale of the same chain in Great Britain, in the French Lidl offices it will not be mandatory to enter and make purchases in case you need to recharge your electric car.
If you are not in a particular hurry, it is also possible to take advantage of the 22 kW alternating current chargers at an even more advantageous price: 25 euro cents per kW.
