Europe’s First Clean Mobility Center Installs Electric Vehicle Charge Stations
Diepenbeek, Belgium - On June 2, 2009, 365-Energy announced that the Katholieke High School of Limburg (KHLim) will begin deploying ChargePoint(TM) Network charging stations from the infrastructure manufacturer Coulomb Technologies as part of the first European Clean Mobility Center in Belgium.
Coulomb’s international partner 365-Energy will provide the charging stations and manage the ChargePoint Network for subscribers.
KHLim produces its own green energy through wind, heat and solar as part of its CO2 neutral area. The ChargePoint charge stations will be connected to KHLim’s own power grid, which will supply the necessary energy.

The project will provide electric vehicles (EVs) from iNet, KHLim’ research institute, and other acquired EVs, such as bikes, scooters, motorbikes and cars, which will be rented to the general public on the University campus. The goal of the Clean Mobility Center project is to create awareness throughout municipalities and corporations by demonstrating the solution to the current energy problem. The Clean Mobility Center will also offer expertise.
“As a first class Clean Mobility Center we were looking for a first class charging infrastructure”, said Ludo Rutten, Valorization Manager at iNet. “Coulomb’s charging stations provide us with an innovative solution that will help accelerate the adoption of electrical vehicles. Besides deploying the technology, we partner with 365-Energy to develop a brand new e-mobility curriculum in Belgium.”
