French retail giant Carrefour CRRFY is planning to install electric vehicle charging stations in its hypermarkets, Reuters reported.
The company will install 700 electric vehicle charging stations and 5,000 charging points by 2025.
The first charging station will be accessible to customers in the carpark of the La Chapelle Saint-Luc hypermarket in Troyes, northeastern France, from April 8.
The report cited a report by Europe's utilities trade body suggesting Europe will need 65 million EV chargers - 9 million public and 56 million residential to cater to the surge in EV growth.
Price Action: CRRFY shares closed higher by 1.91% at $4.32 on Tuesday.
