Bastia Umbra: the Be Charge top-ups (which appear active on the app) imprisoned in a construction site.
Columns unusable everywhere: reports of an all-Italian problem continue, including stations that are inaccessible or never activated. Here are two more reports. Vaielectric he replies. You can write to us at the email address [email protected]
Unusable columns: in Basta Umbra Be Charge imprisoned in a construction site, if it were a distributor…
“ReThanking you for the work you do, I would like to point out the following situation.
TO Bastia Umbra There are 2 columns, total 4 tricks, imprisoned inside a construction site. Obviously in the app BeCharge are available (a new report has been opened in this regard). I absolutely don’t want to make controversies and comparisons. But never would a Municipality give authorization to start a construction activity preventing access to a petrol station. Matthias V.
In Valle del Salto, off the A24, an Atlas has been waiting to be activated for 8 months…
“StI report yet another scandal regarding the installation of charging stations. It was October 2023 (8 months ago) when a colleague sends me a couple of photos to let me know about interesting news. Two new high power columns of Atlas in a strategic location, just outside the toll booth Salto Valley on the A24 Rome-Teramo. Important because fast top-ups are still scarce on this highway (there is only one Tesla Supercharger 40 km before, in Carsoli). But today those columns are still turned off. Furthermore, that car park is very popular, also used as a place of exchange as well as by customers of the hotel-restaurant. It is almost always full, in recent months motorists have understood that those places are available, given that the charging stations are inactive. How is that possible Are the activation times that long? Is it just a problem of (unjustifiable) bureaucratic slowness? Or is there some form of boycott on the part of those who should activate the line, but perhaps they are also in conflict of interest because they are competitors for charging services??“.

Unusable columns, an all-Italian disgrace
Answer. This activation with biblical times is an entirely Italian problem: we found out about it France and Germany, where no such delays exist. We tend to exclude that the responsibility lies with the manager of the charging stations, who has every interest in making them operational as soon as possible to return the investment. So…As far as the issue of inaccessible charging stations (but represented as available on the apps) is concerned, we are truly at a loss. Fairs, markets, festivals...Any excuse is a good one to take up the refill space and make it unusable. This trend in top-up situations is even causing some, exasperated, to return to traditional engines, as he demonstrates this letter. We are in a country where the transition to electric seems like an obstacle course, between charging that doesn’t work and fading incentives in few hours. And no one lifts a finger.
