Fortum lowers the price of rapid charging of electric vehicles in Sweden by 33 percent to SEK two minutes. And now forced Waterfalls follow.

– Yes, we will have a time-limited price promotion on our laddkort. But we will not go so far as down to two crowns minutes. Two crowns are too little. There will then be around, says Mattias Tingvall, Business Development Manager at Vattenfall, to new technologies.

He says that the three crowns minutes remain will be the regular price but laddkortskunderna will get discount.

How long campaign will be, he can not say.

– So far we have not come, ‘said Mattias Tingvall when new technology interviewed him today at a seminar on electric vehicle charging think tank Fores in Stockholm .

But Fortum has already taken the decision to reduce the price to two crowns at least the year.

Redan two weeks ago, when the debate about the price of rapid charging of electric cars were like stormigast, went Markus Hökfelt, director of Fortum Charge & amp; Drive out the article in Ny Teknik and declared that Fortum with partners will subsidize the price of two crowns in minutes.

– We have listened to electric vehicle drivers’ concerns and together with our partners McDonald, Preem, Nissan and Vasakronan adjusted pricing on fast charge until we get a satisfactory share of electric cars in operation, says Markus Hökfelt.

Hittills it’s just the two of Fortum Charge & amp; Drives 21 quick charger in Sweden as it cost to load. It is the charger in Nacka and charger at Roslagstull.

– Where did the demand down as soon as we started charging, says Markus Hökfelt.

In Norway, Fortum Charge & amp; Drive 70 quick charger and where it has cost to charge ever since the first fast chargers installed in 2012.

– They are loved by customers, he says .

But in Norway rolls the 40000 rechargeable electric cars on the roads. In Sweden, just over 3 000th

– The problem is that there are too few electric vehicles in operation in Sweden, says Markus Hökfelt.
