The charging point at Lindholmspiren is operational - the world's fastest electric ferry can now charge in Gothenburg
The charging station for the electric boat Candela P-12, the world's fastest electric passenger ferry, is now in place at Lindholmspiren. TectoPower has delivered the steel foundation that enables the installation of Siemens' fast chargers - a prerequisite for more travellers to be able to travel quickly, sustainably and emission-free in the Gothenburg archipelago.
The new charging point is the result of close co-operation between Candela, Styrsöbolaget, Siemens, Cheap Charge and TectoPower. It enables the ferry to quickly top up its energy supply, thereby increasing the capacity of the service between Stenpiren and Öckerö.
For TectoPower, this is another milestone in the green transition. The company has already supplied steel foundations for much of Sweden's fast-charging infrastructure on land - now it is expanding to the sea.
- "We are very excited about the potential of this market. Being able to offer complete solutions for both road and boat traffic shows that our work with charging infrastructure really makes a difference," says Fredrik Bergström, Sales Manager at TectoPower. - "Klimatklivet has now also opened up for grant applications for public boat charging. We are convinced that a better and faster charging infrastructure for maritime traffic will drive development forward at a faster pace," Fredrik concludes.
With the charging station in operation, Candela P-12 can show its full potential as a quiet, energy-efficient and climate-friendly ferry, ready to take more travellers on a new electrified journey.
