Charging Stations for Electric Vehicles in Morocco

All actions are good to propel the growth of the electric vehicle market. This market is still in its infancy in Morocco, representing only 3.5% of total new vehicle sales, according to the latest statistics from AIVAM. Precisely, to contribute to the development of this promising market, the distribution company Vital Auto Parts has chosen to invest in this promising niche, by signing a partnership with the international company Wallbox chargers, a global player in terminals and charging solutions for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, based in Barcelona, for the marketing in Morocco of its charging stations.

To concretize this alliance, a special division named “Vital energy Morocco” has been created in order to facilitate the transition to electric mobility for Moroccan motorists and to allow them to have access to the best charging solutions. Its main mission would be to facilitate the adoption of electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles for more sustainable use of energy and to develop a network of smart charging points at the cutting edge of technology. Younes Mellouk, CEO of Vital energy, said that “our ambition is to accompany the Kingdom’s energy transition. That of developing renewable energies and implementing clean and electric mobility.”

For his part, Alejandro Criado, sales manager at Wallbox Chargers, noted that “Vital auto parts has been present in the market for several years and offers premium brands. It will represent us in the best way possible. He added that “we chose Morocco because of its geographical location; we believe that it is the best time to have a representation in the country. We also believe that 2023 is the year of electric cars in Morocco because many new models will arrive during this year and next.” Within the framework of this partnership, Vital energy is committed to providing “end to end” support to all future purchasers of Wallbox solutions in all key stages, namely the presentation of the solutions as well as the installation and monitoring of consumption data via mobile application.

Actions that were already taken to develop the electric vehicles market

Vital energy, founded in 2022, is the energy division of Vital auto parts and a subsidiary of Super auto distribution (Audi dealer in Rabat). It is also a pioneering brand in the development of an offer of smart charging solutions for more sustainable mobility and is anchored in the national dynamics.

It should be noted that an agreement has already been concluded between Vital Energy and the Centrale Automobile Chérifienne (importer of the Audi, Volkswagen, and Skoda brands), to offer a Wallbox charging station to each new purchaser of an Audi electric car. The brand and Vital Energy are committed to increasing the number of charging stations in Morocco by installing, by 2023, about fifty Wallbox charging stations in public or semi-public places.

Several golf courses, including Dar Essalam in Rabat and Casa Green Golf in Bouskoura, have already installed Wallbox charging stations, while several other locations, including hotels, will follow during 2023. Founded in 2015, Wallbox chargers is an international company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. It creates smart charging systems that combine innovative technology with exceptional design, and manage communication between the vehicle, the grid, the building, and the charger. The company offers a wide range of charging and energy management solutions in more than 100 countries around the world.
