Our partnership with OK will increase drivers’ access to fast chargers in Denmark, enabling a faster transition to electric vehicles with all the environmental benefits they bring.”
OK has already received part of this purchase order and has successfully launched the first of its 75kW Tritium modular chargers at the Super Brugsen store in Hillerød and the Kvickly store in Odder, Denmark. As the chargers are installed in Coop stores in Denmark, customers will be able to pay for their charging session using OK’s award-winning app, providing a convenient and seamless customer experience.
