Congratulations to all electric car owners! You can now apply for a tax rebate when investing in your own wallbox for home use.

Massive renovation of Hotel Riverton

Hotel Riverton, an award-winning design hotel overlooking the river in central Gothenburg, has undergone extensive renovation work over the past two years.

Investing in more roadside fast chargers

The Swedish Transport Administration is now granting investment aid for 20 new public fast charging stations distributed across seven counties, including central Norrland. “This charging infrastructure expansion is a very welcome announcement. The numbers of electric vehicles and hybrids on Swedish roads are increasing steadily. However, growth in charging stations is not keeping pace with growth in electric vehicles,” says Patrik Andersson, GARO Group CEO.

E-motorist expectations driving development

The numbers of electric vehicles and hybrids on Swedish roads are increasing steadily. However, growth in charging stations is not keeping pace with the growing numbers of electric vehicles. The charging infrastructure must be expanded, not only along the roads, but also near homes and workplaces and where people live their daily lives. So says Patrik Andersson, CEO of the GARO Group.

TREND SPOTTING – We need smarter cities

Urbanisation is the strongest global trend at present. More than half of the world’s population already lives in cities, and within a few decades this figure will have risen to 70%. Considering the growing environmental impact that this entails, there is an urgent need for new smart ways to meet the demand for a high standard of living while maintaining sustainable social development so that our planet can cope.

A faster route to transition

There are clear cost and sustainability incentives in support of electric vehicles, but one important prerequisite for increasing the speed of the transition is ensuring a nationwide network of charging stations. In other words, charging your electric vehicle should be equally easy no matter where in Sweden you live. This is not currently the case, which is why the Swedish government is now offering SEK 150 million in investment aid to accelerate the expansion of public fast-charging stations.
