How long will it take to recharge my vehicle? With which payment method can I pay? Will I find a charging point available in all areas? Whether you are used to or new to electric vehicles, we are here to support you. In collaboration with IONITY, manager of ultra-fast charging stations, we offer a free valet parking service for electric vehicles called “Blue Vests”.
