The company's battery-driven Aurora and Tycho Brahe are now equipped with four 150kW chargers, which can provide eight vehicles with green electricity.

According to Molslinjen, the parent company of Öresundslinjen, it's the first time in the world that e-vehicles on board a ferry can be charged with renewable electricity. The energy is drawn from Aurora and Tycho Brahe's battery packs, which are only charged with certified green power coming from sun, wind, or hydro.

Öresundslinjen says that up to 260 thousand e-vehicles per year can now be charged when going over the Helsingborg-Helsingør sea bridge (however, hybrid cars cannot use the new equipment due to its high charging capacity).
