Jolt builds 50 HPC chargers for Stockholm and aims to promote urban e-mobility.

The Munich specialist for battery-buffered HPC charging infrastructure Jolt Energy plans to implement its concept in Stockholm as well: In cooperation with the Swedish capital, the provider is installing ultra-fast charging stations in heavily frequented urban areas of Stockholm, including on the grounds of the royal palace Djurgården. Stockholm is focusing on networked, battery-supported systems and digital solutions to reduce environmental impact and electrify urban transport.

"The cooperation with Smart City Stockholm is not only an outstanding vote of confidence in our concept of urban fast-charging networks. Following our market entry in the Netherlands last May, it is also another important step with great resonance in the implementation of our European city cluster strategy," says Maurice Neligan, CEO of Jolt.

Nils Blom, the project manager responsible for the city of Stockholm, sees this as an important element in achieving the ambitious climate goals. It is a good example of technology that enables ultra-fast charging in areas with limited grid capacity. The Munich team assumes that German cities will increasingly follow Sweden's example by making a significant contribution to achieving climate protection goals with a space-saving and efficient, battery-backed fast-charging infrastructure. The fast-charging stations combined with battery storage require only a connection to the low-voltage grid despite a maximum charging power of up to 300 kW. This is intended to enable quick and uncomplicated installation without expensive construction work and without grid expansion.
