Renault unifies EV charging under new Plug Inn brand with ultra-fast stations
Charging activities, previously operated under Mobilize Beyond Automotive, are now fully integrated into Renault Group's commercial operations to enhance strategic coherence, operational efficiency and clarity for customers.
ALL OF THE GROUP'S CHARGING SOLUTIONS ARE BROUGHT TOGETHER UNDER THE PLUG INN BANNER
- Plug Inn fast charge: the ultra-fast charging network
- Plug Inn powerbox: the bidirectional charging solution combined with the intelligent V2G* charging service
- Plug Inn charge pass: the single payment solution providing access to charging anywhere across Europe
Plug Inn is a name that everyone can make their own, a strong, memorable marker that is easy to understand internationally. "PLUG" is directly linked to electric charging, while "INN" conveys an imaginary of hospitality, comfort and service drawn from the hotel industry.
"Our priority is to simplify every step of the electric experience for our customers by offering them a reliable, clear and scalable charging ecosystem. With Plug Inn, we are setting a structuring milestone: an infrastructure designed to support, on a large scale, the ramp-up of zero-emission mobility in Europe. Beyond a change of name, Plug Inn embodies a strong industrial and technological ambition: to create a reference standard, harmonise the charging experience, and support the acceleration of electric vehicles by focusing on service quality, transparency and trust. This is how we will help make the transition to all-electric mobility a simple, seamless and accessible reality for everyone," says Jérôme Faton, VP Customer Experience & Energy, Renault Group.
FIRST STEP IN APRIL: RENAMING THE FAST-CHARGING NETWORK
The Mobilize fast charge network becomes Plug Inn fast charge from April, with an ambition that remains unchanged: to offer the best fast-charging experience in France. Launched in 2023, this network represents a strategic infrastructure based on ultra-high-power charging stations of up to 320 kW, enabling compatible vehicles to recover up to 400 km of range in around 15 minutes.
The network was also recently recognised in the Chargemap ranking for its reliability, the quality of its user experience and the coherence of its territorial coverage**. A strong signal, backed by hundreds of thousands of user reviews, confirming the relevance of the efforts made over recent months.
A target of 93 stations has been set for the end of 2026 to sustainably strengthen the network's coverage. Plug Inn fast charge stations are mainly located at Renault dealerships, close to major road axes, ensuring accessibility, strong local anchoring and visibility. They are open to all brands of electric vehicles.
They have been designed to offer the simplest, most comfortable and most reliable charging experience possible, both for everyday use and long-distance travel: reliability above 99%, 24/7 maintenance, Plug & Charge compatibility, premium lounges at selected sites (secure, accessible 24/7, with Wi-Fi, restrooms, coffee, workspaces and relaxation areas), as well as transparent and attractive pricing for Renault Group customers. ***
