The Circle Ok petrol station chain has opened 20 new charging factors for heavy-duty electrical vehicles in Sweden, every with a capability of 360 kW. These are unfold over 5 areas alongside strategically vital visitors routes within the nation.
Particularly, the 5 areas are Varberg Nord, Laholm Snapparp Östra, Jönköping Hyltena, Gävle Bro and Ljungby. Along with 14 charging factors already opened earlier this yr within the port of Gothenburg, Kiruna, Gällivare and in Arvidsjaur, Circle Ok now has 34 charging factors for electrical vehicles at 9 areas. Subsequent yr, the corporate plans to broaden the electrical truck charging community to 90 charging factors.
“It’s with nice satisfaction that I can say that we’re sustaining a quick tempo in our enlargement, despite the fact that the variety of electrical vehicles continues to be fairly small immediately. The rationale for that is that we need to be forward of the curve and thus create the situations for the transport business to dare to change to electrical drive,” says Lennart Olsson, answerable for electrical truck charging at Circle Ok.
Along with the 360 kW chargers talked about above, Circle Ok additionally plans to put in two megawatt chargers and supply hydrogen at chosen areas as a part of a mission referred to as E-Cost, partly funded by the Swedish authorities’s innovation company Vinnova.
