Top score for design for Ensto's e-car charging postOctober 2nd, 2009 Oslo is the first Nordic city to prepare for the large-scale use of electric vehicles, agreeing to purchase 150 charging posts with an option of 170 more. The winning bid for providing the posts was made by Proxll using Ensto’s products.  The decision was based on four criteria: price, design, technical capability and delivery. Ensto’s winning solution was ranked the best for design. The traffic agency considered that its streamlined design would fit well into the urban environment. The charging points are expected to stand out from other street furniture such as electrical cabinets, parking meters etc.
New poles co-developed by Fortum and Ensto are also to be launched in Espoo, Finland. The plan is to have the posts up and running by the end of November of this year.
The charging posts were designed by Vikke Hyvönen of ED-Design.
