Nicosia, Cyprus. Public electric vehicle charging stations across Nicosia will be out of service for one week as part of an upgrade linked to a new management agreement. The municipality said the shutdown will run from next Monday to May 3.
Planned outage and system upgrades
The municipality said all public charging stations will be temporarily unavailable to facilitate system improvements under a newly signed agreement with Petrolina. Municipal authorities said the temporary shutdown is necessary to implement technical upgrades and prepare the network for a revised pricing structure.
Agreement signed with Petrolina
The contract was signed on Thursday by mayor Charalambos Prountzos and Petrolina director Petros Fiakkas. The municipality said the agreement is intended to modernise infrastructure supporting electric vehicles in the capital.
Access via pcharge and additional chargers
Charging services will continue to be accessed through the pcharge application, which the municipality said will remain unchanged once operations resume. The upgrade also includes four additional electric vehicle chargers scheduled for installation.
