Existing utility poles could be utilised as charging points for electric vehicles, according to a pre-market consultation by the Climate Action Authority.
“This initiative seeks to boost electric mobility by enhancing access to charging stations in communities and common areas,” said Abigail Cutajar, the authority's CEO. “It reaffirms the commitment in Malta’s ongoing efforts to electrify transportation.”
The projects' initiatives to promote Malta’s shift to sustainable and clean mobility include the expansion of single-phase slow AC electric vehicle recharging stations, known as trickle chargers, applied on existing utility poles in residential public areas and other key locations where vehicles are often parked for extended periods.
