What exactly is Eliso building at the 15 retail parks?
Eliso Group is installing 78 HPC charging points at 15 retail parks from the portfolio of the French property fund PAREF Prima. This is reported by electrive.net.
HPC stands for High Power Charging, meaning fast charging with high output. Each charging point should deliver up to 200 kW, according to electrive.net. Alpitronic Hyperchargers with integrated cable management will be used.
Payment is made directly at the charging station: by card terminal or contactless. No app or contract is required.
What is the timeline and which sites are already open?
The 15 sites are spread across 9 German federal states. The rollout should be completed within the next two years.
The first two sites are already in operation. At the end of March 2026, four charging points went live in the car park of a discounter in Ochsenhausen (Baden-Württemberg), according to electrive.net. Shortly after, four more followed in Haßfurt, Bavaria.
Eliso has not announced which of the remaining 13 retail parks will be equipped next. The company also does not comment, according to electrive.net, on the total connected load of each site or the power distribution between several vehicles charging at the same time.
How much does charging at the HPC stations cost?
Eliso does not name an official ad-hoc price in the announcement. In the comments on the electrive article, a user writes: "No, Eliso so far 49 ct/kWh ad-hoc price." This figure is therefore not confirmed by the company, but is a user statement.
Note on the price
Eliso has not published official ad-hoc prices for the 15 PAREF sites, according to electrive.net. The quoted figure of 49 ct/kWh comes from a user comment, not from the company.
„"Anyone who wants to bring e-mobility into everyday life must move charging to where people already are: shopping."“
— Niels Christ, CEO von Eliso, zitiert nach electrive.net
Why is the partnership with PAREF relevant for retail and site planning?
The 78 charging points are not being built as part of a public tender. Instead, it is a direct partnership between Eliso and the property owner PAREF Prima. Eliso also covers the investment costs, according to the company.
For retail sites, this is an obvious use case: customers can charge their car while shopping without making an extra stop. Long stays in retail park car parks thus become charging time.
For site planning and property, this means: an HPC offering can increase the attractiveness of a retail park without the owner having to invest themselves.
How does the deal fit with Eliso's previous HPC rollout?
Eliso is currently also building at 6 Famila branches a total of 44 fast-charging points. These are being built as part of the Deutschlandnetz, which the parent company Vinci Concessions is implementing via Via Deutschlandnetz: 3 regional lots with 110 sites and over 800 charging points.
Combined, Eliso is planning or implementing 122 HPC charging points at 21 retail sites in these two projects. The comparison shows two models for fast-charging infrastructure in retail, according to electrive.net:
- Publicly commissioned: Deutschlandnetz sites such as the Famila branches.
- Privately financed: Direct partnerships with property owners such as PAREF Prima.
What remains open?
Several details are not public as of 23 July 2026: the order of the 13 remaining sites, the total connected load per site and an official ad-hoc price. Eliso also does not comment in the announcement on the electricity tariff or the backend operator.
