First solar filling station with eight charging stations
AGROLA/LANDI At St. Gallerstrasse 52 in Matzingen TG, just a few minutes from the highway, the future has begun. The reason: Agrola and Landi have put a solar filling station with a modern battery storage solution and eight stations into operation there. From now on, eight electric vehicles can simultaneously refuel their batteries with solar power. For this purpose, two fast-charging and [...]
As of now, eight electric vehicles can simultaneously recharge their batteries with solar power. Two fast-charging stations and six normal-charging stations are available for this purpose. The electricity for this comes from the photovoltaic system on the roof of the carport and on Landi buildings.
Modern battery solution
Managing Director Kajetan Mazenauer: "Thanks to a modern battery solution, the electricity can be stored and used when it is needed. The fact that the cycle with electricity production, storage and use is so perfectly coordinated is unique in Switzerland." Customers who urgently need electricity for their cars can cover up to 200 kilometers again after around 15 minutes of charging. Now that's a word!
With card or cash
When it comes to paying, Kajetan Mazenauer has found a convenient solution: "At the checkout, the amount of electricity charged is read on a special device and the customer can settle the outstanding amount in cash or by credit card. So quite incidentally, he can also make purchases in our grocery department." All in all, the system cost about 250,000 francs. There are certainly more senseless ways to spend money.
