For the time being, there is no lantern store for electric cars, as has already been tested in Berlin by Ebee or Ubitricity. The Hanseatic City’s economic authority rejects a model experiment and wants to wait for results from the capital, reports the Abendblatt. Some districts, such as Eimsbüttel, would have liked to try out the innovative technology themselves with little effort and costs. But the authority of traffic senator Frank Horch believes that: that only a small part of the 13,500 Eimsbüttel lanterns would be suitable for retrofitting to the charging point. If at all, they would only be considered as an addition to the planned charging infrastructure. The Senate, the evening paper quotes the authority, continues to pursue the conventional power stations provided in its master plan, which also enable fast charges. One of the biggest criticisms of the lantern loaders was that they are not suitable for this. d Schinnenburg, FDP spokesperson for transport policy, according to the paper, for an excuse: “The rule is that you do not charge your car quickly, but rather park it overnight or in the day to refuel.”He considers the rejection to be a failure: “It is disappointing that the Senate leaves the obvious and favorable possibility to expand the power stations. “The conversion of a lantern would cost only nearly 300 euros each. A conventional charging point strikes – depending on the Sy stem – with 2000 to 15,000 euros.Source
