Charging Solutions for Local Authorities and Cities

Develop a public charging infrastructure to support electric mobility. EVBox solutions are designed to help cities, municipalities, and local governments deploy reliable, scalable charging networks tailored to public spaces.

Local governments play a vital role in the development of electric mobility. By deploying publicly accessible charging infrastructure, they meet the needs of residents, businesses, visitors, and professionals while contributing to the energy transition in their communities.

Why install charging stations in a city or municipality?

As the number of electric vehicles increases, local governments must provide a public charging network capable of meeting new mobility needs. Charging stations installed on public roads, in municipal parking lots, or in public spaces allow residents, business owners, taxi drivers, and visitors to charge their vehicles throughout the day. Whether in a downtown area, a residential neighborhood, or a business district, charging infrastructure is becoming an essential component of meeting local mobility needs.

  • Supporting the transition to more sustainable mobility
  • Improving the services offered to residents and visitors
  • Supporting local economic development
  • Promote the adoption of electric vehicles
  • Maximizing the value of investments in public infrastructure

Challenges to anticipate for a public charging network

The deployment of charging stations in urban areas involves technical, regulatory, and operational constraints that must be taken into account from the project’s design phase onward.

Continuous use

Public charging stations serve users throughout the day, offering short- to medium-length charging sessions depending on their mobility needs.

Significant exposure to outdoor conditions

The chargers are installed outdoors and must be able to withstand the elements, weather fluctuations, and vandalism.

High safety standards

The equipment must ensure the safety of pedestrians, motorists, and operations crews in high-traffic areas.

Essential interoperability

Local governments must be able to work with different operators and monitoring platforms. Compatibility with open standards, particularly OCPP, is an essential criterion for ensuring the long-term viability of investments.

Urban integration constraints

When installing the chargers, consideration must be given to available space, traffic flow, accessibility, and noise pollution in order to preserve the quality of public spaces.
