Renewable powered charging
Zero Grid Charge represents Quantrex's most ambitious electric mobility deployment in Europe. Spanning urban charging hubs highway corridors and residential charging infrastructure across the Netherlands the network is setting the standard for what renewable powered EV infrastructure looks like at national scale.
Every charge on the Zero Grid Charge network is matched to renewable energy from Quantrex wind and solar facilities in the Dutch and North Sea region. Zero compromise on clean. Zero complexity for the driver.

Charging the Netherlands at scale
The Netherlands has one of the highest rates of electric vehicle adoption in Europe and one of the most demanding charging infrastructure requirements as a result. Zero Grid Charge was developed to meet that demand at national scale with a network designed to serve every type of driver from urban commuters to long distance freight operators.
The network spans 180 locations across the country from city center fast charging hubs to motorway service area installations to residential community charging clusters in new housing developments.
Key characteristics:
180 locations spanning urban rural and highway settings
Maximum charge rate of 350 kW per point
Average of 13 charging points per location
Coverage within 20 kilometres of 95% of the Dutch population
Infrastructure built for every driver
Zero Grid Charge operates three distinct charging formats matched to the needs of different drivers and locations. Urban hubs serve city dwellers and short range commuters with fast charging sessions of under thirty minutes. Highway installations serve long distance drivers with ultra fast charging capable of adding 300 kilometres of range in under twenty minutes. Residential clusters serve communities where home charging is not available.
Every point on the network accepts all major payment methods and all vehicle connector standards with no subscription or membership required.
Core systems:
CCS and CHAdeMO connectors at all highway locations
Type 2 AC connectors at all destination and residential locations
Open payment via contactless card and app
Real time availability displayed on Quantrex app and third party navigation platforms
100% renewable powered
Every charge on the Zero Grid Charge network is matched on an hourly basis to renewable energy from Quantrex generation assets in the Dutch and North Sea region. That matching is not based on annual averages or third party certificates. It is a direct hourly link between generation and consumption verified by an independent auditor and reported transparently in the Quantrex annual sustainability report.
When a driver charges at a Zero Grid Charge location they can be certain that the energy entering their vehicle came from a Quantrex wind turbine or solar panel in the same grid zone within the same hour.
Renewable matching commitments:
Hourly not annual renewable matching
Direct link to Quantrex generation assets
Independent third party verification
Full transparency in annual sustainability reporting
From grid to vehicle
Zero Grid Charge operates its own energy management platform that continuously optimizes when and how energy flows to each charging point based on grid conditions renewable availability and real time demand at each location. The platform reduces grid demand charges reduces the cost of renewable energy procurement and ensures the network operates profitably even at high utilization.
Key components:
Proprietary energy management and smart charging platform
Direct renewable energy procurement from Quantrex generation portfolio
Dynamic load balancing across all points at each location
Remote diagnostics and over the air software updates
