Brisbane-based Tritium has signed a deal to provide nine Veefil-RT 50kW DC fast chargers to support Nissan’s sponsorship at the UEFA Champions League final, played in Spain on June 1.
The chargers, to be deployed near the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, will make up part of the Nissan and UEFA operations hub at the IFEMA event centre during the lead-up to the final, alongside 20 AC 22kW chargers.
The Veefil-RT chargers, which will have Nissan branding, take up a small footprint and can be installed in hours, adding 50km of range in 10 minutes.
“The UEFA Champions League is a fantastic showcase for Nissan electric vehicles, and this year we will be doing more than ever to electrify the final in Madrid,” Nissan zero emission and ecosystem director Brice Fabry says.
“Tritium are able to turn around a turnkey solution for charging infrastructure quickly, so we’re very happy to welcome them to the team.”
Tritium chief executive officer David Finn says staff worked closely with Nissan’s design team to develop the branding and imagery required to maximise Nissan’s visibility during the event.
“Nissan has been synonymous with electric vehicles and the Nissan Leaf has pushed e-mobility to the forefront of the public consciousness,” he says.
“We look forward to helping Nissan stand out during their festivities throughout the week as they continue to drive the vision of an e-mobility future.”
At least two chargers will remain on-site after the final, the remaining seven to be deployed by Nissan elsewhere in Spain.
Meanwhile, Tritium has just signed a new deal with Ionity to supply its flagship Veefil-PK 350kW DC high power chargers to an additional 120 sites across Europe.
In conjunction with a 100-site deal announced in 2018, Tritium will now supply the chargers for 220 of the planned 400 sites across Europe, making it Ionity’s largest supplier.
These chargers can add 350km range in 10 minutes.
