Collectric operates those charging stations until they reach the end of their useful life. Thereafter those stations are replaced with new stations supplied by Collectric.

We assist in expanding connection capacity and qualify what this means in terms of costs to support the investment decision.

We repair and replace stations in conformity with agreed service terms to ensure continuous and reliable operations. The costs of associated with the works may be for Collectric's account or the owner's account depending on the type of contract structure.
