Huelva City Council has installed in the city for the first time free chargers for electric scooters. And Solum, a startup certified as FIWARE Ready earlier this year through La Lonja de la Innovación, has been entrusted with implementing this initiative.
According to Pilar Miranda, Mayor of Huelva, the goal is to promote “sustainable mobility strategies and the decarbonization of the city, advancing towards a model centered on active mobility, such as pedestrians, bicycles, scooters, low-emission vehicles, and especially public transport”. In line with this vision, Solum’s solution, a sustainable and intelligent charging station, has been installed in the center of Huelva. This station generates its own energy through solar pavement installed around it.
The new charging area developed by Solum is a completely free service activated via a module capable of charging up to 12 devices, powered by photovoltaic pavement.
