Electric trucks: Zunder opens first charging station near Lyon

The Spanish operator Zunder has opened a public charging station with 500 kW capacity in Genas, in eastern Lyon, equipped with CCS and MCS connectors. This investment of over 250,000 euros is the first of its kind in its network.

Zunder launched a public charging station dedicated to electric trucks at its Genas location in the Mi-Plaine industrial zone, east of Lyon, on September 15, 2026. The facility can deliver up to 500 kW and features both CCS and MCS connectors, the first time such setup has appeared in the operator’s network. The cost of this installation exceeds 250,000 euros.

The station, located at 29 rue Roger Salengro, is accessible via the eastern ring road, near Eurexpo and Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport. It can accommodate up to two heavy trucks simultaneously.

The charging rate is set at 0.59 €/kWh, with subscription options and direct agreements available for businesses. Open since July 24, 2025, the site also features eight fast charging points with capacities of up to 400 kW under photovoltaic canopies.

Founded in 2017, Zunder claims to have over 1,500 ultra-fast charging points in Spain, France, and Portugal. It remains to be seen at what pace it will expand the MCS network across the rest of its country-wide infrastructure.
