Fast electric charging in Volvo dealerships
Project Powerstop fast charging points are found in Volvo dealerships and are easily accessible and, although Volvo branded, they are open to everyone users of electrified or electric vehicles of all brands. I’m more than 15 motorway axes near which you can benefit from the presence of Volvo branded charging stations.
The Powerstop project involves the creation of 30 charging stations, thus reaching a total of 50 charging points (30 ultrafast and 20 fast up to 50 kW). The cities of Vicenza, Magenta, Empoli And Catania will soon be integrated into the project, while the inclusion of Naples.
High power stations are manufactured by Delta and I am able to recharge two cars simultaneously at 80% of capacity in just over 30 minutes. After two years the Powerstop project can be summarized as follows:
- 22 stations Powerstop currently in operationnAnd
- 39,000 recharges carried out from the beginning of the business
- 4.5 million of Km pran with refills provided by Powerstop
- 547 tons of CO2 at the exhaust not emitted/saved
Charge for charging at Volvo dealerships
The charging rate in Volvo dealerships for customers of the brand is 50 cents per kWh throughout Europe, on promotion for one year thanks to the provider DCS. After the first year, you will need to sign up for a monthly subscription of 14.90 euros to maintain the same rate; otherwise, you will pay the list price (€0.94/kWh on Powerstops via the Volvo Cars app).
These stations allow payment with credit card. The function will initially be activated in demo mode at the dealership CAR Room in Rome, along the Grande Raccordo Anulare (GRA), and will be extended in 2024 to all the other stations in the network.
