The city of Berkane, in partnership with the local development company Majal Berkane for innovation and territorial intelligence and a private enterprise, has recently installed two charging stations for electric vehicles. This initiative fits perfectly within the framework of the National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS), which aims to accelerate the transition to a green and inclusive economy by 2030. The statement was made by Omar Zerzouri.
Omar Zerzouri, the general manager of the local development company (SDL) Majal Berkane, emphasized that these two pilot stations, located in the heart of the city center, bring significant added value to the region. He highlighted that these stations are conveniently located near public administrations, allowing citizens to carry out various administrative procedures while their vehicles recharge for free.
He also pointed out that the province of Berkane is aligning with the global trend towards promoting the gradual phasing out of gasoline and diesel vehicles, while encouraging the transition to electric vehicles that are more environmentally friendly. The two stations operate with a capacity of 22 kilowatts, which allows most electric vehicles to be charged up to 80% within an hour and a half to two hours, making them faster than other charging stations, Omar Zerzouri added.
