Monta PowerBank: Powering the future, officially
No longer in beta, our pioneering #PowerBank technology transforms charge points into valuable resources, ensuring #grid stability. By working with 3600 charge points, we aggregated 3MW of electricity demand at night.
This is equivalent to turning off the power for 2250 homes! Now available in East Denmark, Sweden, and soon in the UK and Ireland. Read the full story here.
People want to drive electric on their holiday
According to our recent study with YouGov , we found that people prefer to drive an electric car over their holidays.
Over half of respondents in the UK, France, and Germany favour holiday accommodations equipped with EV charging facilities.?
Research shows that only 2.46% of the UK, 3.73% of French, and 6.96% of German holiday accommodations cater to this need. Considering that 57% of Brits, 53% of the French, and 61% of Germans prefer to drive electric on vacation, the hospitality industry stands before a significant opportunity to tap into this booming market demand. The time has come for the hospitality sector to plug into the EV movement and foster sustainable tourism forward.
Why the EV roaming market needs a rethink
Transitioning towards electric vehicles and a greener future requires a robust and user-friendly charging infrastructure. However, the lack of standardisation and transparency in the EV roaming market poses significant challenges. In this post, we explore the complexities hindering a seamless and user-friendly EV charging experience.
