瑞士安装首个高山电动汽车充电点

打算在高海拔的大圣伯纳德路驾驶电动汽车的车主不必再担心充电问题了。去年12月，瑞士在大圣伯纳德路为电动车配备了快速充电站，该公司周四在一份声明中说。

该隧道在大约海拔1900米处建立，发电时使用与隧道同时建造的洞穴中的水力发电站发电，所以车主们使用的是所谓的“环保”电。

通过充电站将这种绿色能源传递给车主“承载了建造隧道及其水力发电站的先驱者们的精神，”运行隧道的公司董事会主席OlivierFrançais说。

该公司的发言人说，自从12月开通的充电站以来，十几个的客户使用过了快速充电站。

它可能不是唯一的高海拔充电站。该公司说，但意大利方面在2017年也会仿效这样的快速充电站。

Owners of electric cars who intend to drive up the high altitude Great St Bernard pass need no longer worry about recharging in advance.

Last December, the Swiss side of the Great St Bernard Tunnel that crosses from Switzerland into Italy installed a fast charging station for electric vehicles, the company said in a statement on Thursday.

The tunnel, at around 1,900m altitude, produces its own green electricity using a hydroelectric power station in a cave built at the same time as the tunnel.

Passing this green energy on to vehicle owners through the charging station “carries on the spirit of the pioneers who built the tunnel and its hydroelectric production unit,” said Olivier Français, chairman of the board of the company that runs the tunnel.

Speaking to The Local, a spokesman for the company said since the charging station opened in December “a dozen” customer had used it. 

It may not be the only high altitude charging point for long. The Italian side of the pass intends to follow suit during 2017, said the company.
