Mika Salo, a name synonymous with speed and precision in the world of motorsports, is now embarking on a new journey into the world of e-mobility. As one of Finland’s most accomplished racing drivers, Salo continues to embrace maximum power in his daily life; he is now charging his EV with DEFA Power.

“Using DEFA Power is very easy”, says the former Finnish F1 racing driver, highlighting the seamless transition from a fossil-fuel car to an EV.

Racing Legacy: From F1 Glory to EV Ambassador
Mika Salo emerged from Helsinki to conquer the world of motorsports. Starting in karting, his talent propelled him through Formula series, earning notice in the late ’80s. His Formula One voyage kicked off with Lotus in ’94, marking the start of a distinguished career with subsequent teams. The pinnacle came when he substituted for Michael Schumacher at Ferrari. Post-Formula One, Salo embraced endurance racing, excelling in series like the FIA GT. His enduring impact extends beyond the track as a mentor to emerging talents, solidifying his legacy as a Finnish racing legend. He has also been an F1 commentator and host on TV.

He was recently appointed as an ambassador for the Chinese car brand Voyah in Finland. At the same time, DEFA supplied him with DEFA Power, delivering an installation process that Salo describes as remarkably fast and efficient.

DEFA Power: A Seamless EV Charging Experience
Mika Salo appreciates the simplicity and functionality of his home charger DEFA Power. As an EV charging solution tailored for everyday use, Salo especially likes the integrated cable and the intuitive display.
“The fixed cable is easy to use for daily EV charging,” says Salo.
With an eye on the approaching winter, he emphasizes the importance of a flexible cable in low temperatures.

DEFA Power’s thoughtful design extends to cable management, providing ease of use. Salo notes, “The cable management is easy since you can wrap the cable around DEFA Power and lock the cable with the clip to the cable wrap.”
“The display is nice and remains clear even in direct sunlight, enhancing the overall user experience.”

He concludes:
“I’m very pleased with this solution!”
