The charging park creates reliable and convenient charging options for e-mobilists on the busy route between Wels and Passau.

The charging car park pioneer solarcap relies on quality "Powered by SMATRICS" for its major project. "Our aim was to equip the car park with comprehensive services for drivers. With SMATRICS as a reliable partner, the smooth and economical operation of state-of-the-art charging infrastructure is ensured," explains Peter Limberger, Managing Director of solarcap. Additional services such as lounge, catering and toilet facilities are also available in the car park.

In addition, SMATRICS enables access to 16,000 public charging points in Austria with its roaming-enabled charging card. This corresponds to a coverage of around 90 per cent.
