The Finnish city will add 6 high-power charging stations for electric vehicles
On Tuesday 6 July, the Finnish City of Rovaniemi reported that the electric utility company Neve will soon equip the municipality with a total of 6 new charging stations for electric vehicles. These stations will allow drivers to charge their cars more quickly as the municipality reveals that the power and capacity of charging will now be doubled.
With more and more people switching from diesel to electric vehicles, the demand for high-quality charging infrastructure has risen significantly. According to a press release by the City of Rovaniemi, 30% of newly registered cars in June 2021 were electric. Unsurprisingly, such an increase in the number of green vehicles results in a higher demand for infrastructure that supports their use.
Neve’s new charging points will be located in the Rovaniemi South Centre (Teollisuustie and Lautatie), the downtown shopping centres Rinteenkulma and Revontule, and the railway station. It is important to note that the charging stations will vary in terms of power. Taking a case in point, the Rovaniemi South Centre will be equipped with 150-kilowatt high-power charging stations while the stations at the downtown shopping centres will have a power of 50 kilowatts.
Although power may vary, the City of Rovaniemi explains that just under 10 minutes of charging can allow cars to make a 100-kilometre journey. Neve’s CEO Kristian Gullsten commented on the need for investments in charging infrastructure, noting: “Rovaniemi is a traffic hub where highways meet. The new investments will ensure that there is no e-transport bottleneck in Rovaniemi. The flow of electric transport in Lapland will improve significantly.”
By investing in charging infrastructure, Rovaniemi facilitates the switch from diesel to electric vehicles. More importantly, it helps accelerate the green transition.
The 6 charging stations will be ready for use on Friday 9 July.
