Do the charging stations also have to enter large service stations dedicated to endothermic? There is those who say no given that a capillary and dedicated infrastructure is needed and there is, instead, those who say yes also to be able to take advantage of the possible presence of bars that would allow people to refresh themselves while waiting for the full of energy.

A new example of & quot; coexistence & quot; between endothermic and electric comes from Q8 which has inaugurated in Paderno Dugnano (MI), along the & ldquo; Milan-Meda & rdquo; highway, a new service station which, in addition to being characterized by a very particular design, offers a series of services able to best meet the needs of mobility; of people, including the electricity user.

TRADITION AND SUSTAINABILITY?

The new Q8 system allows refueling both to endothermic cars (petrol, diesel, LPG and soon also to methane) and to electric ones. For battery-powered models, in particular, there are 6 charging stations available, including 2 ultrafast 300 kW . The station & egrave; was designed under the banner of digitization and sustainability. Q8 says, in fact, that it has used various energy efficiency solutions. We find, for example, LED lighting with motion sensors and the use of recyclable materials. The site makes extensive use of renewable energy from from the 70 kW photovoltaic system located above the canopies.

The structure also allows the recovery of rainwater. And to pass the time, people can take advantage of the new & quot; Svolta & quot; store, the Panella Bakery café and the Roadhouse restaurant. There are about 60 parking spaces available. Part of the investment relating to methane and electricity is was financed with the contribution of European funds & ldquo; Connecting Europe Facility & rdquo ;.

And speaking of the design, Q8 underlines that the project & egrave; inspired by the sails of the & ldquo; Dhow & rdquo;, the typical boat of Kuwait, the state of the reference shareholder.

The sails themselves are the distinctive icons of the Q8 brand, a symbol of tradition and innovation, present on the Italian market for 35 years. A central mast of 25 meters high connects two canopies in the shape of a triangular sail to create a coverage of a total of 2,000 square meters. The first & ldquo; thought it & rdquo; it covers the islands of delivery of traditional fuels and, representing the energy transition, is connected through the mast, to the second & ldquo; pensivela & rdquo; placed to cover the dispensers of alternative products (LPG and methane) and the stalls for electric recharging. References to the forms and architectural solutions of the buildings of the Middle Eastern tradition can be found in the design of the innovative building of 1,200 square meters with low environmental impact that allows customers to choose from a diversified range of services based on the different needs; stop.
