Atlante’s ultra-fast charging stations, designed by Bertone Design, outfitted with photo voltaic panels and power storage methods, will quickly arrive on Italian highways to serve electrical mobility

Milan, Italy — Atlante, the corporate of NHOA Group devoted to electrical automobiles quick and ultra-fast charging community, has received the primary tender in Italy for the design, building, and administration of over 90 ultra-fast charging factors for electrical automobiles (EV) for Autostrade per l’Italia (ASPI).

The charging factors shall be situated in 8 service areas alongside the highways managed by ASPI and can characteristic the unique design by the worldwide agency Bertone Design, in addition to the presence of photo voltaic panels and power storage methods. This award represents an absolute innovation in Italy, the place Atlante is the primary impartial operator to put in its charging stations on the ASPI freeway community, persevering with the trail in direction of widespread electrification on the complete Italian highway infrastructure.

Atlante’s charging stations, outfitted with ultra-fast charging factors as much as 400kW, will enable electrical automobiles to recharge in a couple of minutes and shall be uniformly distributed all through the nationwide territory, notably in service areas in Lombardy, Veneto, Tuscany, Campania, and Apulia.

All Atlante stations shall be outfitted with photovoltaic panels overlaying the charging station, mixed with storage methods for higher administration of the photo voltaic power produced on-site. This forward-thinking determination permits Atlante to proceed offering an optimum charging expertise whereas providing a charging expertise powered by 100% renewable power.

Atlante stations shall be recognizable because of the long-lasting cover designed by Bertone Design and can combine varied technological options, together with: a system for detecting unauthorized parking of inner combustion engine automobiles, clever lighting and signage, and Wi-Fi connection. There may also be digital data totems and a 24-hour video surveillance system.

“Our mission is to contribute to achieving zero-emission mobility in Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal. This award represents a further step after the 87 fast and ultra-fast charging points on the French highways for VINCI Autoroutes and consolidates Atlante’s position as main independent operator in Southern Europe in the development and management of fast and ultra-fast charging networks on highway infrastructures,” commented Stefano Terranova, CEO of Atlante.

“Increasing charging stations on Italian highways is a concrete response to concerns about the compatibility of electric vehicles with long-distance travel. Making charging simple and ultra-fast even on highways simplifies the transition to electric mobility, thus contributing to a more sustainable future. These new ultra-fast stations increase Atlante’s presence in strategic Italian infrastructures, from major airports to ring roads and major highways, allowing Atlante customers to recharge throughout the national territory without further worries,” acknowledged Gabriele Tuccillo, CEO of Atlante Italia.

Atlante’s charging stations shall be accessible 24/7, even to folks with decreased mobility, outfitted with POS terminals for cost with financial institution playing cards, usable by all electrical automobiles, and suitable with each charging commonplace and electrical mobility service supplier.
