Wallbox (NYSE: WBX), a leading provider of electric vehicle
(“EV”) charging and energy management solutions worldwide, and
Atlante, a company of NHOA Group (NHOA.PA, formerly Engie EPS)
dedicated to creating the largest fast and ultra-fast charging
network for electric vehicles in Southern Europe, have joined
forces to develop new public charging points in Italy, France,
Spain, and Portugal.

Both companies have a long-standing commitment to promoting
sustainability and technological innovation in the field of
electric mobility and have now further strengthened their
collaboration. The partnership with Wallbox will enable Atlante to
speed up its ambitious project of installing 5,000 points of charge
by 2025 and 35,000 by 2030, all of them 100% enabled by renewables
and backed by storage and photovoltaic canopies, where
possible.
Atlante’s fast-charging stations will be equipped with Wallbox's
public charger Supernova, both in its 60 kW version and the latest
150 kW version. They will be strategically positioned along the
primary transportation arteries linking Southern Europe, in strict
compliance with the recently ratified legislation by the European
Parliament. This legislation stipulates the requirement of
establishing at least one charging point per 60 kilometers on the
core road network of the European Union, and one for every 100
kilometers on the Trans-European network. Additionally, Atlante
will install charging stations in parking lots and strategic urban
areas.
Wallbox and Atlante have been collaborating since 2022, when the
Italian company chose Wallbox as a key partner for the installation
of superfast charging points in its home country, Italy. The
Milan-based company already has over 3,500 charging points online
and under construction, and thanks to technological partners like
Wallbox, it has been able to streamline its project to establish
the largest network of fast and ultra-fast public charging in
southern Europe. In 2022 and 2023, the company was selected to
receive approximately €73 million of grants from the European Union
under the CEF 2 Transport – Alternative Fuel Infrastructure
Facility program, a funding initiative supporting European
transport infrastructure.
As a public charging operator and a strong focus on
sustainability, Atlante has chosen Wallbox as its partner due to
the extensive range of solutions provided by the Spanish company.
Wallbox's leadership in the EV charging market and its production
capacity have positioned the company as the ideal partner to
execute Atlante's project, since the company exclusively selects
suppliers who can ensure maximum reliability and offer an uptime of
over 95%, which is the case of Wallbox’s Supernova charger.
“We are excited to announce our collaboration with Atlante, a
strategic partner with whom we share a long-term vision, and with
whom we will provide our customers with the best possible electric
charging experience," says Enric Asunción, CEO and co-founder of
Wallbox. "Thanks to our common commitment to promoting the
widespread adoption of sustainable transportation, we aim to foster
a new energy paradigm based on collaboration and create a
pan-European public charging infrastructure, hoping that this
partnership will drive many other initiatives that will enhance the
consumer charging experience”.
“From the very beginning, we have believed in Wallbox's fast and
ultra-fast charging solutions, convinced of the seriousness of
Enric and his team's approach in conceiving and manufacturing
high-quality products designed specifically for our markets. We are
excited to have Wallbox as a partner in the ongoing technological
development of our charging solutions, and above all, in the shared
challenge of creating an increasingly extensive and accessible
charging network for as many EV drivers as possible in Southern
Europe. When it comes to hardware selection, we place the utmost
importance on the level of reliability and service quality,
ensuring users a straightforward and uncompromising performance
experience. Therefore, we exclusively use top-tier chargers and
have only a few selected partners like Wallbox, whose products
complement our offering in the fast-charging segment," states
Stefano Terranova, CEO of Atlante.
