The network of electric vehicle charging stations is expanding in the territory of the Province of Berkane!

As part of the transition towards cleaner and more sustainable mobility, the territory of the Province of Berkane is enhancing its electric charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. This initiative aims to meet the increasing demand for electric vehicles in the region and to encourage the adoption of environmentally friendly modes of transportation.

Currently, the City of Berkane already has two electric charging stations, but their capacity has become insufficient to meet the growing demand. To address this situation, the Local Development Company "MAJAL BERKANE for Innovation and Territorial Intelligence," in partnership with the municipality of Saidia and the company Kilowatt, has installed two additional charging stations in Saidia, an excellent tourist destination, as well as two other stations at the Marina, a popular location for residents and visitors.

Saidia, with its tourist appeal and growing popularity, is a strategic location for the installation of charging stations. The two new charging stations in Saidia will provide residents and visitors with the opportunity to easily recharge their electric vehicles, thereby encouraging the adoption of this environmentally friendly mode of transportation.

Similarly, the Marina, a gathering place for residents and visitors, is also equipped with two new charging stations. This will increase the availability of charging infrastructure and further encourage people to opt for electric vehicles, thus reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality in the region.

The expansion of electric charging infrastructure in the territory of the Province of Berkane offers numerous economic and environmental benefits. In addition to fostering local economic growth by creating new jobs in the electric vehicle-related services sector, this initiative will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, thereby aiding in the fight against climate change and preserving the environment.

The territory of the Province of Berkane is committed to supporting electric mobility and creating an environment conducive to the adoption of environmentally friendly vehicles.
