E-Mobility installs Stockholm’s first mobile fast charger for electric boats for electric boat developer Candela
The Soltech company E-Mobility, based in Borlänge, has developed and installed the first mobile fast charger for electric boats in Stockholm. The charger, which has an output of 200 kW, is located below the City Hall in central Stockholm. The charger is primarily intended to charge Candela and Region Stockholm’s hydrofoil ferry, which will operate in commuter traffic between Ekerö and the City Hall starting at the end of October
E-Mobility is the Soltech Group’s company with specialist expertise in large-scale installations for electric car charging and high-efficiency charging infrastructure. They have now developed and installed a mobile fast-charging station for the electric boat company Candela. The fast charger has an output of 200 kW and is portable, which enables that the charger can be moved to meet future or seasonal needs.
The company’s CEO Martin Götesson sees a growing demand for this type of mobile charging station both in Sweden and internationally, due to the increased electrification of maritime transports.
– We are very proud to have installed this mobile fast-charging station for Candela. It is a unique installation that creates a flexible and powerful charging solution. In the past, we have developed charging infrastructure for passenger vehicles, trucks and mining machines, and now we are helping the electric boat industry. With the increasing electrification of both private and commercial shipping, we see great potential for our mobile and scalable fast chargers in the future, says Martin Götesson, CEO of E-Mobility.
– We would like to thank E-mobility for their cooperation and flexible solutions for mobile charging stations, which suited us perfectly during our pilot project. Their product enabled us to meet our needs efficiently, says Martin Reher, Strategic Project Purchaser at Candela.
