The charging infrastructure for electric municipal vehicles is crucial for the successful integration of electric vehicles into municipal fleets. It includes charging stations installed at strategic locations, as well as the corresponding management and maintenance. Planning should take into account aspects such as charging speed, compatibility with vehicles and scalability to meet fleet requirements and ensure smooth operations.
The charging infrastructure for hydrogen trucks usually includes hydrogen refueling stations where the trucks can refill their hydrogen tanks. These filling stations are equipped with special pumps that pump the hydrogen into the vehicles under high pressure. As hydrogen filling stations are not yet as widespread as conventional filling stations, the expansion of the infrastructure is an important step in promoting the use of hydrogen trucks.
