PowerGo is opening its new ultra-fast charging location at Lillebælt in Denmark with seven 400 kilowatt chargers, ensuring that fourteen EV drivers can charge at the same time. It is the charge point operator’s largest ultra-fast charging hub in Europe.
The charging location is located along highway E20, which is part of Europe’s central transport network (TEN-T).
Earlier this year, PowerGo won the tender with the Danish Road Directorate (Vejdirektoratet) and was given the opportunity to expand its network of public charging stations with the ultra-fast charging location at Lillebælt Syd.
Like at the rest of PowerGo’s charging locations, drivers at Lillebælt Syd can charge with the certainty of green energy. PowerGo works with 100 percent solar energy, generated from solar parks operated by its parent company PowerField.
“We are working hard to ensure that EV drivers can charge their vehicles quickly, easily and conveniently on long journeys. It is crucial that we install fast chargers at traffic junctions in Denmark, because this makes it even more attractive for Danes to choose the electric vehicle as their preferred means of transportation,” said Frederikke Fog, Tender Manager PowerGo
The new charging location has six parking spaces that can accommodate longer vehicles such as cars with trailers, including camping trailers, or cars adapted for people with disabilities.
The location is part of PowerGo’s initiative to roll out a European charging network, ensuring that EV drivers have significantly better opportunities to charge their electric vehicles. As part of this initiative, PowerGo has won eighteen tenders to install over 1.600 public charging points in Denmark.
When drivers charge with PowerGo, they experience dynamic charging prices. These are fair and transparent prices that follow the hourly market price on electricity. EV drivers can pay with their charging card, debit or credit card, or with the free PowerGo Charge app.
This is the second time PowerGo has won a tender with Vejdirektoratet. They have previously worked closely together on another ultra-fast charging hub, which has opened in Haderup near Route 34.
