Ionity has replaced the charging hardware at its Elverum site in Norway following the failure of a pilot project with Ekoenergetyka. The original installation, which featured Ekoenergetyka's Shared Power technology, was removed due to repeated malfunctions reported at the location.
The new infrastructure at the Elverum park now includes charging stations supplied by Huawei, marking the first collaboration between the two companies. This partnership follows an announcement made at the Power2Drive event in Munich earlier this summer.
The updated site currently features three Huawei charging stations providing six charging points, with power outputs of 4x up to 600 kW and 2x up to 500 kW. An existing Alpitronic station with two 400-kW points remains operational at the same location.
Despite the pilot failure, Ionity continues its broader relationship with Ekoenergetyka, which began in 2023. Ionity still utilizes Ekoenergetyka's all-in-one 350-kW stations in other markets, including Croatia, Slovenia, and Finland.
