Allego is the operator of a fast charging network for electric cars based in the Netherlands.

History

The company was founded in September 2013 under the name Alliander Mobility Services as a subsidiary of Alliander NV from Arnhem, a utility company, and renamed to Allego in June 2014.. [1] The parent company had been active in Berlin since 2006 with its Stadtlicht GmbH. Through this mainstay, Allego won a tender from the state of Berlin to operate the EV charging stations in January 2015. [2] The corresponding contracts with Allego GmbH were extended in 2019.[ citation needed ]

In autumn 2015, Allego began building a network of fast-charging stations along German motorways. [3] In 2016, Allego took over the construction of 40 fast chargers with 50 kW in the "Fast-E" project with funding from the EU. [4] In January 2018, Allego presented the "Mega-E" project, again using EU funding, to build an HPC charging network with 322 locations and 27 e-charging hubs. A total of 1,300 HPC charging points with up to 350 kW were to be built by 2025. [5] From 2021, Allego also began converting the "Fast-E" locations to HPC charging stations. However, the sites had already been prepared for 350 kW. [4] In July 2022, Allego exercised a purchase option on the 100 locations with 770 fast chargers that had already been built. [6]

Allego was sold to a French infrastructure fund, Meridiam, on May 31, 2018. [7] [8] In April 2020, it was announced that every second job at Allego would be cut. [9] Since then, it has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) through a merger with a SPAC. [10]
