When you go on a trip to the mountains with your EV, every detail contributes to the total experience. Your company, the activities you do, the weather. And the EV charging. We know that a smooth charging experience makes a difference; if you can avoid ‘charging anxiety’, you’ll simply have a more comfortable break!  

“A fully charged car benefits the dad, mom, and the kids, and enhances the holiday mood,” says Espen Forsberg, Sales Director at Bruse, who has delivered a charging facility with 46 DEFA Power chargers at the holiday apartments at Highland Lodge Fjellandsby in Norway

The holiday apartments at Highland Lodge attract people seeking nature experiences and relaxing days. Espen Forsberg at Bruse, partner to DEFA, says:
“From the moment they arrive at the accommodation until they return home after their holiday, everything should run smoothly. This very much applies to EV charging as well. People expect to be able to charge when they arrive at their destination and for the car to be fully charged when they leave. Before heading home, they shouldn’t have to worry about standing in line for charging along Hallingdalen, where there’s high demand for fast chargers, especially during holidays”.

Reliable and intuitive 

He explains that feedback from users at Highland Lodge Fjellandsby has been positive.
“The operation works well, and some charge points are used very frequently, which is a testament to the quality of the product. I have a DEFA Power at home in my garage, and I know that this charger is very easy to use. It’s truly intuitive, and the fixed charging cable means you don’t have to pull out your own cable from the trunk all the time. The integrated cable is also convenient for visitors at Highland Lodge.”

Roger Espeli is the Managing Director of Geilogruppen, that has ordered the charging solution from Bruse. He says: – We are very pleased to have chosen Bruse as the total supplier of fiber and Wi-Fi for the apartments and charging system in the garage here at Highland. We get good support, local presence and modern products’

Espen Forsberg concludes:
“DEFA has a plant in our neighboring municipality, Nesbyen. We at Bruse have chosen DEFA’s chargers as the only chargers we work with because we want to offer local products by a well-known, reliable brand. For us, it’s important to provide products we truly stand by, and that comply with all required regulations and guidelines.”

Bruse works to ensure that residents, businesses, and holiday homeowners in Norway’s Hallingdal have access to fast and reliable internet. The company, which is expanding and operating its own fiber, also offers solutions for EV charging, and solar panel installations.
