527 of the charging points are in the factory’s southern car park, with 226 of these being covered by a roof with PV modules contributing to the energy supply of the charging park. According to Tesla, the connected load can be up to one megawatt at its peak. The AC charging points in question use Tesla’s Wall Connector with a charging capacity of 11 kW. These points alone should therefore have a potential charging capacity of 5,797 kW or around 5.8 MW.

The first unit, nicknamed Nova, took a short break from service due to winter ice, but will now increase its weekly capacity. The vessel reportedly reduces travel time on a popular commuter route by 50% to only half an hour, where it would normally take one hour. As a result, Region Stockholm says most departures have been fully booked and has resulted in a 30% increase in riders on route 89 – the waterway route that is also served by diesel-powered ferries.

Despite the fact that Lancia only launched the redesigned Ypsilon last year, the company is already updating the hatchback. The company states that the new Ypsilon Electric can cover the 425km range on a single charge, an improvement of 6 per cent or 22km over the previous model. This is thanks to ‘improved chemistry’ of the NMC battery and a more efficient powertrain, which means the average energy consumption comes down to 14.3kWh every 100km.
