Innovative solutions for sustainable transportation arrive in Slovakia
Bratislava, February 26 – GIB (Gotion InoBat Batteries), a joint venture of Gotion High-Tech and InoBat headquartered in Slovakia, has donated mobile charging stations to the Government Office of the Slovak Republic. These stations represent a new generation of solutions for electromobility.
- These chargers are portable, flexible, and do not require fixed installations, allowing for the charging of electric vehicles even in locations without permanent charging infrastructure. Upon being summoned via remote control, they autonomously move to the location where the electric vehicle is parked.
- Similar solutions have already been successfully implemented in China, significantly improving charging accessibility.
- In Slovakia and Europe, this is an innovative breakthrough that can significantly support the development of electromobility and sustainable transportation.
An Innovative Solution for the Development of Electromobility in Slovakia
The goal of this initiative is to demonstrate that Slovakia is no longer just an automotive powerhouse but is increasingly making its mark in the electromobility sector. Mobile charging stations are a practical solution for strengthening electromobility in both urban and rural areas. Their flexibility enables the rapid expansion of charging infrastructure without the need for lengthy and costly installations.
These charging stations are also highly useful for businesses, various events, and locations with high mobility needs, where charging demand is temporary or infrastructure is still under development.
GIB is open to discussions with public institutions and private sector representatives regarding further applications of this technology in Slovakia.
“The diversification of charging infrastructure is essential to make electromobility accessible to as many people as possible. Flexible charging solutions help accelerate the transition to sustainable transportation without requiring large investments in fixed infrastructure,” said Steven Cai, Chairman of GIB and President of Gotion EMEA.
“We currently have additional mobile charging stations ready, which we plan to deploy in coordination with the Government Office of the Slovak Republic. We believe that such solutions will contribute to the faster adoption of electromobility in Slovakia,” added Cai.
Gotion and InoBat: Strategic Partnership for European Innovation
Gotion’s strategic partner in Europe is InoBat, Slovakia’s leader in battery technologies.
“Slovakia still has great potential for growth in electromobility, including the charging network. Solutions like these mobile stations offer a flexible answer to current challenges,” said Marian Boček, CEO of InoBat.
“This product further demonstrates that, thanks to our partnership with Gotion, InoBat has a unique opportunity to work with the most advanced technologies, contribute to their development, and subsequently adapt them for the European market. With our R&D center, Slovakia has the potential to become a hub for innovation in this field. This gives us a significant competitive advantage and positions us as a key player in the deployment of new electromobility technologies in the region,” Boček concluded.
Summon Your Charger – Even to Štrbské Pleso
The mobile charging stations from Gotion have a capacity of 182 kWh, meaning they can charge 4 to 5 vehicles before requiring a recharge. Charging an electric vehicle from 30% to 100% takes between 40 minutes and 1 hour with fast charging.
The stations are designed to withstand various weather conditions, operating at temperatures ranging from -20°C to +50°C and at altitudes of up to 2000 meters. Additionally, they can autonomously move at a speed of 5 km/h, allowing for more efficient charging exactly where it is needed.
Depending on the available power source, the charging stations themselves can be recharged via a DC charger (60 kW), taking just over 3 hours, or via an AC charger (22 kW), which requires approximately 9 hours for a full recharge.
