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.

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]

An electric vehicle charging network is an infrastructure system of charging stations to recharge electric vehicles. The term electric vehicle infrastructure (EVI) may refer to charging stations in general or the network of charging stations across a nation or region. The proliferation of charging stations can be driven by charging station providers or government investment, and is a key influence on consumer behaviour in the transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. While charging network vendors have in the past offered proprietary solutions limited to specific manufacturers, vendors now usually supply energy to electric vehicles regardless of manufacturer.

The Combined Charging System (CCS) is a standard for charging electric vehicles. It can use Combo 1 (CCS1) or Combo 2 (CCS2) connectors to provide power at up to 350 kilowatts (kW) . These two connectors are extensions of the IEC 62196 Type 1 and Type 2 connectors, with two additional direct current (DC) contacts to allow high-power DC fast charging. In response to demand for faster charging, 400 kW CCS chargers have been deployed by charging networks and 700 kW CCS chargers have been demonstrated.
