We are charging up Borås with more electric car chargers
A collaboration between four municipal partners has accelerated the expansion of electric car chargers in Borås. Borås Municipality’s Parking has teamed up with Nätkraft Borås, (Lokalförsörjningsförvaltningen) the Property Management Department, and (Servicekontoret) the Service Office, and together they are now focusing on building more electric car chargers.
- Our cooperation will speed up the densification of charging stations. It should be smooth and easy to drive an electric car in Borås, says Lars Hedendahl, CEO of Nätkraft Borås.
- The collaboration started in early 2024, and so far, the partners have installed 28 charging stations, with work ongoing to complete an additional 14. There are already about 120 public charging stations at visitor parking lots in the city. Through this partnership, an expansion is planned, aiming for about 350 charging stations by 2026.
- It is important that we continue to simplify the transition to more climate-smart travel, says Hanna Munde, CEO of Borås Municipality’s Parking.
- Parking areas at Stadsparksbadet, Milstensgården, Bodaskolan, Almåsgymnasiet, and Ishallen were the first to be equipped with chargers. Installations are currently taking place at Borås Simarena and Viskastrandsgymnasiet. At Stadsparksbadet, Ishallen, and Borås Simarena, some charging stations are also accessible for people with mobility impairments.
- Anders Waldau from the Property Management Department says everyone benefits when we transition and find more sustainable solutions for our mobility.
- The city of Borås has a goal of fossil-free fleet vehicles by 2028, and this is a big step towards achieving that, concludes Kenneth Lundqvist from the Service Office.
