For those going to the airport
Afonso Pena International Airport is in São José dos Pinhais, and that changes the profile of those looking for charging in the region: they are people on a fixed schedule, often outside business hours, dropping off or picking up someone. It is precisely the scenario in which a charger that closes at 10 p.m. doesn't help.
If your flight arrives in the middle of the night and the battery is too low to get home, knowing there is a fast charger open and lit in the region takes the decision out of improvisation. It's worth mapping the point before the trip, not on the way back.
How charging works
The session is started on the charger's own screen, with no attendant on site. You connect the cable, choose the session on the screen and follow the charging. Payment is made with PIX or credit card.
The billing has two parts: the energy that actually went into your car, measured in kWh, and a connection fee per session. Both amounts appear on the charger before you start the charge — so there's no surprise at the end. The price isn't the same at every unit in the network, which is why it is shown on site, and not here.
Is your car compatible?
The fast charger's connector is CCS2 (Combo 2), the standard of the vast majority of electric cars sold in Brazil — BYD, GWM, Volvo, BMW, Chevrolet, Renault and others. If your car charges on CCS2 at any public charging station, it charges here.
For those with a plug-in hybrid or planning to stay parked longer, the 22 kW AC charger with a Type 2 outlet is the more suitable option: it delivers less power, but is gentler on the battery during long stops.

Do you need to book?
No. Access is free, at any hour, and the session starts on the charger itself.
