Mobility travels toward electric

Public administrations are key players in the transition to sustainable mobility. The implementation of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles is not only a step toward a greener future, but represents an essential service for citizens and tourists.

The main challenge? Choosing the right, efficient and reliable solution that can adapt to the specific needs of each public setting.

The importance of hardware choice

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for all public administrations. Municipal parking lots with limited space, high-density urban centers, suburban areas with a need for accessible charging-each context has specific needs.

That is why the choice of hardware is a key element in ensuring efficient and long-lasting service. At Powy, for example, we offer flexible and modular solutions designed to fit any scenario and ensure optimal performance.

AC solutions: flexibility and efficiency for public administrations

AC charging infrastructures represent a well-established and versatile solution for Public Administrations. With powers up to 22kW, they offer a good balance between charging speed, suitable for medium to long stops, and ease of operational integration.

Their simple implementation into existing power grids and security (certifications such as IK10, IP54) and smart (RFID support, digital payments) features make them suitable for many contexts.

Powy proposes two solutions, of all:

  • Wallbox, compact and ideal for municipal parking lots.
  • Quick, sturdy columns perfect for high-traffic areas.

When to evaluate a Fast or Ultrafast solution

Fast (50kW-150kW) and Ultrafast (150kW-300kW) solutions can be useful in specific scenarios, such as:

  • Strategic high-flow nodes: service areas on major arteries, railway stations, airports or intermodal hubs.
  • Operational fleets with specific needs: service vehicles (e.g., local police, garbage collection, public transportation) that require fast turn-arounds.
  • Short-stay attraction poles: highly frequented tourist areas where a time-limited stopover is expected.

The implementation of Fast and Ultrafast stations requires a more thorough evaluation of the available electrical infrastructure, given the higher power requirements compared to AC solutions, to ensure their proper operation and integration into the grid.

The best choice? Depends on the context.
