E-Mobility is the Soltech Group’s company with specialist expertise in large-scale installations for electric car charging and high-efficiency charging infrastructure. They have now developed and installed a mobile fast-charging station for the electric boat company Candela. The fast charger has an output of 200 kW and is portable, which enables that the charger can be moved to meet future or seasonal needs.

The company’s CEO Martin Götesson sees a growing demand for this type of mobile charging station both in Sweden and internationally, due to the increased electrification of maritime transports.
