Public EV charge points for urban residential areas

ubitricity’s lamp post charge point “Étoile” closes this gap and enables a France-wide expansion of charging infrastructure in public spaces, thus supporting the adoption of electric vehicles.
Easy access to public EV charge points
A charge point for electric vehicles is only as good as its user-friendliness. At ubitricity charge points, EV drivers can choose between different access, billing and payment options.
