New, green partnership: Charge your electric car at Port of Hirtshals

Port of Hirtshals has just entered into a partnership with the energy company E.ON, one of Denmark's largest suppliers of green power for electric cars, which means that a number of different types of charging stations are set up at the port. It creates goods connections between port and city and is an important step in the green transition, says CEO at Port of Hirtshals, Per Holm Nørgaard.

Now there will be an even better opportunity to charge electric cars fast and efficiently in Hirtshals. A new partnership between the Port of Hirtshals and the energy company E.ON results in a number of lightning charging stations at the Auktionskajen in Hirtshals, and quite recently a number of charging stations for electric cars also opened at the Montra Skaga Hotel opposite the Nort Sea Oceanarium.

- It has long been a wish on our part to have more charging stations for super-fast charging in Hirtshals, so we are very happy about the new collaboration with Port of Hirtshals. The goodwill of good, local partners means a lot to the whole project, which is to get more people to choose to drive green, says Anders Krag, managing director of the company E.ON Drive Infrastructure, which is responsible for setting up and operating the charging stations.

There will initially be four super-fast charging points at Auktionskajen, which will be part of a total of 28 charging points in Hirtshals from E.ON Drive. The charging stations are of three different types, super-fast, fast and city chargers, which cover the different needs of electric motorists, depending on how fast you need to move forward. It typically takes 20-45 minutes to charge an electric car at a super-fast charger, while the charging time is 60-90 minutes at fast chargers and 6-7 hours at city chargers.
