A charging process on the street lamp in front of the town hall took around five hours on average.

It was a pilot project by the energy producer “innogy”, “but the construct didn’t really work,” says the councilor of the Ense community, Andreas Fresen. What is meant is the e-charging station at the town hall in Bremen, which was placed in a street lamp directly in front of the administration building. The charging station is now to be replaced by a modern double charging station.
Bremen – “Of course we want to continue to offer a charging facility,” explains Andreas Fresen. “We are currently in the process of finding a suitable location near the town hall.” The collaboration with “innogy” is to be continued, and a similar facility to the one at the ball game hall is to be used in the center of town to refuel the electric cars.
The street lamp, as the company said when it was put into operation in 2016, will take on the function of a charging station, drawing its energy from the existing low-voltage network. A model that only works intermittently.
E-charging stations should be set up “promptly”
Up until now, drivers had to pick up an intelligent cable (“SmartCabel”) from the community’s citizens’ office. That is about to change: in future every e-car driver should be able to use the e-charging station with his own cable without any problems – the electricity must of course be paid for.
From the town hall it is said that the new charging station will be set up “promptly”.
