Atlante, a company of the NHOA Group, will install two parking and EV charging hubs powered by renewable energy under a contract awarded by the Municipality of Padua, Italy.
The two hubs will have 80 parking slots powered by renewable energy from solar panels installed on canopies covering 160 slots. The hubs will be at the end of the main tram line of the city.
The architecture will enable storing of solar energy and offer a greater number of ultra-fast charging points than what is possible using only the resources from the power distribution network.

Atlante technologies and grid services will offer a charging service at a competitive rate and also strengthen the storage capacity of the national power system.
“Padua, pragmatic and visionary, is getting ready for the electric revolution: I’m proud that the current Administration is once again demonstrating, with yet another practical initiative, the attention it pays to sustainability and innovative mobility. The future, as said by Europe, belongs to electric vehicles, and that's why this city – as per its tradition – is looking ahead, to the future, preparing our car parks for electric vehicles, for a greener and more inclusive Padua. I'd like to thank Atlante for selecting Padua as the first city to invest in, bringing its unique skill set to deliver the Municipality’s vision towards the ecological transition and an increasingly sustainable mobility,” stated Carlo Pasqualetto, Innovation Officer at the Municipality of Padua.
