Operation: not open 24 hours; check the hours on the unit's page
Charger: 80 kW DC, two CCS2 outlets
The charger and the charging time
It is an 80 kW DC charger with two CCS2 outlets, the connector standard across the entire Elektro Charge network. It is the network's highest-power unit; Pinhais and Boqueirão operate with a 60 kW DC charger.
In practice, the gain from the 80 kW depends on the car: the charging time varies with the model, the battery temperature and the state of charge.
Hours: not open 24 hours
This is the main difference from Pinhais and Boqueirão, which operate 24 hours every day. In Araquari, the hours are Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sundays and holidays from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. If you're passing through on the BR-101 outside those hours, plan the stop in advance. Don't count on the charging station in the small hours.
How to start the session
As at any unit in the network, the session is started on the charger's own screen, with no attendant. You plug in the cable, choose the session on the screen and follow the charge on the panel. Payment is with PIX or credit card.
The charge adds up the energy consumed, in kWh, plus a connection fee per session. The two amounts appear on the charger before you start, with no surprise afterward.
