Rugby World Cup France 2023: TotalEnergies commits to sustainable mobility

Gaétan Doyen
Head of EV TECH Department, TotalEnergies

We're here in Saint-Denis, 15 minutes' drive from the Stade de France, where we've set up a temporary electric charging facility: a complete charging station with standard and fast charge points.

TotalEnergies, as an official sponsor of the Rugby World Cup 2023, has committed to France 2023 to offering more sustainable transport solutions throughout the event. That's why we designed and set up this facility.

Cédric Kancel
Head of fleet Tournament Services, France 2023

We really wanted to include our fleet of vehicles in our environmental program.

That's why we asked TotalEnergies to create this facility and install a certain number of temporary charge points on the sites, in Paris, Saint-Denis and Marseille for the carbon impact, because they're the Rugby World Cup 2023 two main sites.

Gaétan Doyen

It's a mobile facility for temporary sites. At the end of the event, we remove the entire facility. It could be taken on the road, being moved to different sites during an event.

Seeing the Rugby World Cup 2023 officials travelling eco-responsibly was a real source of pride for us, combining our passion for rugby with our job.

Tarik Chemcham
Regional Director Île-de-France Nord

We're at the all-electric Courbevoie service station, and the Rugby World Cup 2023, we're letting customers charge their cars for free. It's our way of celebrating this major event for the Company.

Antoine
TotalEnergies Customer

I'd heard a lot about the operation on social media, and, first of all, it's a great idea, because free charging isn't usually a thing in Paris.

Also, it worked very well, it was straightforward. Friendly service. Even a lot of free charge points still, so it went very smoothly.

Thierry Hurlbut
Courbevoie Station Manager

Customers are greeted by two people who explain how it works, start the charge and stay until the vehicle is fully charged. People are very pleased, of course.

You just come to the service station on match day and we'll be happy to offer you a free charging.
