A quick top-up with Althea 50 kW
After many years as a market leader in vehicle charging, GARO has developed its own new fast charger able to charge a car in about 30 minutes. Our Futuresmart, reliable and durable fast charger will not only attract more customers, it will also reward you with greater loyalty by clearly showing which side of the climate debate you stand on.

Roadside appeal
Our Althea fast charger is perfectly suited to places where people run shorter errands. And the fact that they are able to top up their electric charge will encourage more frequent visits. Since Althea is equipped with both CCS and CHAdeMO charging cables, it is suitable for use with all electric cars that support fast charging. The straightforward touchscreen makes the charger easy to use regardless of language. Moreover, the high-quality technology and components mean that this charging station takes care of itself with minimal maintenance.

MADE FOR HARSH CLIMATE
Developed and thoroughly tried and tested in Sweden and Norway, Althea is designed to cope with harsh climate, resistant to both cold and moisture. This is also why the charger housing is fitted with a heater.

What does an Althea installation require?
An Althea installation should be carefully planned based on the location and the layout of the parking area. The charging station should be powered from a supply rated at least 80 A (400 V TN). Also decide whether it is to be connected to a charging provider and, if so, how access control is to be implemented. Once everything has been planned and ordered, Althea will be delivered ready to use and configured with all the right settings. Like all GARO products, Althea is designed to be easy to install and intuitive to use.
