Starting point:
The project:
Enel X and TMB - local public transport operator - installed an innovative system of ultra-fast chargers for electric buses, named “Pantografo”. This system works thanks to the combination of two elements: a column for recharge and a retractable arm positioned on the top of the bus. It has the following characteristics:
- power of 400kW
- battery recharge varies between 40% and 80% in 5-8 minutes
- sharing data in real-time with TMB control center to optimize the management of the fleet
- full security of the passengers, that can get on and off the bus at any moment, even during recharge
- synchronization of timing for fast recharge and breaks of the drivers, without any impact on time schedules
