Chargemaster, which already supplies Renault’s UK dealerships with charging points, will work with Vinci Energies to install posts at locations including the carmaker’s head office, engineering centres, proving grounds and green factories.

The units will be located in car parks and made available for employee and visitor use.

Chargemaster chief executive officer David Martell said: ‘We worked very closely with Vinci Energies to ensure we could provide the right infrastructure for both current needs and future requirements. The agreement strengthens our position as leader in the charging infrastructure market.’
