E-Gap offers charging service for Fiat 500e

Fiat, a Stellantis subsidiary, and the charging solutions start-up E-GAP have introduced a mobile fast-charging service for the Fiat 500e, which aims to replace conventional stationary charging stations, for example, when they are not accessible or occupied at desired times. The on-demand service is currently being set up in Germany, Italy, France, and Spain. The offer is already available in cities such as Berlin and Munich.

The backbone of the start-up's mobile charging service consists of electrically powered small vans with large onboard power storage units. These are powered 100 percent from renewable energy sources. The service can be ordered via smartphone through the Fiat app. The fast-charging process can be carried out at any accessible location and, if desired, without the vehicle owner's presence. The customer only needs to specify the location, desired time period, and charging level, the provider outlines.
