For over 15 years, DBT CEV has been installing and maintaining 95% of all the electric

vehicle recharging terminals in France. Working in conjunction with EDF (the world’s largest

electric utility, with a virtual monopoly in France), DBT CEV has equipped pioneer cities with

electric vehicle charging stations, including Paris, Douai, Bordeaux, Nice, Lyon, Saint-Etienne,

Toulouse and Strasbourg. In addition, DBT CEV is also working with large corporations, including

McDonald’s and the hotel chain Novotel, to install vehicle charging points to attract EV

drivers.

When the first electric vehicle integration initiatives were launched at the beginning

of the 1990s, DBT CEV’s R&D operation developed a large range of recharging systems, including:

• Independent charging points for individual use;

• Electronic payment charging points for private company or community fleets;

• Self-service electronic payment charging points on the public highway;

• Charging points for electric buses;

• Rapid charging points (acquisition of the SAGEM-Automotive terminals licence).

The DBT CEV product range offers a variety of recharging solutions for electric vehicles,

rechargeable hybrid vehicles, buses, and trucks with Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 DC Fast

Charging. In addition to the products displayed in this brochure, DBT CEV is constantly

innovating and collaborating with customers to design EV charging solutions to match each

of our customer’s unique business requirements.

DBT CEV is also actively pursuing a wide range of publicly-funded projects. Recently, DBT CEV

won the bid launched by the City of Strasbourg to supply, install and maintain 20 charging

points linked to electronic payment terminals and management systems. DBT CEV is currently

responding to proposals for ambitious charging infrastructure projects in the world's largest

cities, including Paris, London, and Chicago.

DBT CEV has recently won the most important tender in Europe with the E-Laad

foundation program in Holland (350 charging stations across the country). Considered as a

European pilot study, the E-Laad project plans to set up 10 000 charging stations in Holland

in order to encourage the electric mobility. The first phase consists in the setting up of the

GNS charging stations until November 2012.
