(Elbil24): Many of our readers have let us know that Uno-X has now upgraded the Gulskogen power station in Drammen to something we have at least not seen before within the borders of Norway.
That is to say, the price per kWh for lightning charging is also shown in the price column, along with the prices for petrol and diesel. As you can see from the image above, the card shows that lightning charging cost NOK 6.50 per kWh when the photo was taken.
Can we expect lower top-up prices now?
Tuesday official opening
– We have an official opening tomorrow at 11. Then the Minister of Transport will come and open this station, Ole Johannes Tønnesen, general manager of Uno-X eMobility in Norway and Denmark, tells Elbil24.
He can say that Drammen station is the first of its kind in Norway, but that there will be more stations following the same concept in the near future. Others like it will soon open at the Rema 1000 in Gol, Voss, Eidsvoll and Bergen, among others.
E-tron, I-Pace or EQC? This is what the owners are more and less satisfied with
Lynlading
Uno-X’s charging stations are lightning chargers with an output of 300 kW, and Tønnesen fears that the chain is completely transparent about the price.
– With us, you pay the price of pure kWh and no per-minute prices or penalties if you’ve been standing for that long, he assures.
The chain has ambitious plans to further roll out such stations where Reitan Retail has locations, namely at the Rema 1000 stores, Uno X and YX/7-Eleven stations along the street.
– It’s coming on a conveyor belt here now, laughs Tønessen.
Electric car deal: Now you can get these three for under NOK 300,000
Carpet on all shippers
– We also don’t want to have any dependency on the app and are therefore introducing coverage on all chargers, enthuses Tønessen.
Card payment has long been a strong desire of electric motorists, with a full 80% wanting it when the Electric Vehicle Association last held its annual survey.
It is also keen to underline that the stations must have good accessibility for people with reduced mobility and that the company is working to remove obstacles so that it is easily accessible, even by introducing carpeting.
– Imagine that by displaying the price on such a price board, you will also get more dynamic prices than electric car drivers are used to?
– You shouldn’t ignore it. When technology allows, it is clear that prices can follow a price cycle, for example where it is cheaper to charge at unfavorable times, concludes Tønessen.
