R3 (DBT): Revenue Up 103% and 24 Stations Opened from January to July 2026
R3, the fast-charging network and subsidiary of the DBT group, released its operational results for the first half of the year on August 31, 2026. The press release highlights an acceleration in station deployment and revenue growth, in a context where R3 has become the group's leading revenue contributor.
This communication covers activity indicators (stations, charges, energy delivered) and references financial data already published by the parent company.
24 Stations Opened in Seven Months, Including 14 in July
From January to July 2026, R3 commissioned 24 new fast-charging stations in France, including 14 in July alone. The press release describes this month as the most intense in the network's history in terms of installations.
Over the period, R3 reports 121,674 charges delivered and 3,547,099 kWh of energy supplied to vehicles, as well as 108 new charging points created. July was also marked by the opening of the network's first station in Normandy, in Bernières-sur-Mer, and by a station in Pollestres, near the Spanish border.
R3 Becomes DBT Group's Leading Revenue Contributor
On the financial side, the press release refers to that of the DBT group dated July 31, 2026, which reported R3 revenue growth of 103%. According to this document, R3 has thus become the group's leading revenue contributor.
This growth reflects a trend already observed in the first half of 2026, a period during which the DBT group had reported revenue of €3.7 million, down 4% year-on-year. This overall decline was attributed to the gradual phase-out of slow chargers, an activity described as having low margins, while fast charging driven by R3 was progressing.
Over 145 Stations and 622 Charging Points Across French Territory
At the scale of its fleet, R3 reports over 145 stations and 622 charging points deployed across French territory. The network operates chargers with power output up to 180 kW.
Since its creation, R3 reports 11,479,542 kWh delivered and 399,306 vehicles charged. These cumulative figures indicate the level of activity reached by the network since its inception.
