Gigantic Car-Charging Stations

Norway's Electric Vehicle Charging Station is the World's Biggest

— September 7, 2016 — Autos
Finnish energy company Fortum is launching an absolutely enormous electric vehicle charging station, located in the town of Nebbenes in nearby Norway, that is the largest of its kind on the planet.

Developed as part of a collaboration with Tesla, this massive electric vehicle charging station offers as many as 28 unique charging stations. The stations offer users different levels of performance, with the majority being Tesla Supercharger charging points while the other eight make for an even split between 50-kilowatt and 22-kilowatt options. The stations cost around $0.31 per minute of use, with drivers able to take advantage of a number of payment options.

This huge electric vehicle charging station is all about making electric motoring more convenient and practical in order to encourage more people to ditch the gas and embrace electric power.
Trend Themes
1. Electric Vehicle Charging Revolution - The construction of the world's largest charging station for electric vehicles presents opportunities for electric vehicle manufacturers to move ahead and invest in building more electric vehicles.
2. Convenient and Fast Charging - The need for quick and efficient charging stations has become more important with the increase in electric vehicles; therefore, the demand for better charging stations leads to innovation in new charging technologies.
3. Green Energy Made Possible with Charging Station Regulation - Government regulations mandating that parking lot owners install charging stations for electric vehicles could lead to an increase in demand and incentivize more companies to introduce new charging station technology.
Industry Implications
1. Automobile - Automobile manufacturers could potentially collaborate with electric charging station providers to create more integrated solutions for electric vehicles.
2. Electric Power Generation - Electric Power Generation companies will have to innovate and invest in more sustainable systems in order to power these ever-increasing charging stations in a way that remains viable.
3. Real Estate - Real Estate owners and developers could benefit from designing and constructing buildings and complexes that fit electric vehicle infrastructure, including charging stations.
