The future of mobility is electric, and Fast Parking Catania is ready to embrace it. With the installation of an electric car charging station, our parking facility near Catania Airport takes a concrete step toward sustainability and innovation, offering a cutting-edge service for travelers with electric vehicles. In this article, we explain everything you need to know about EV charging: charging methods, times, maximum power, and how to charge your vehicle safely and conveniently.
An Electric Car Charging Station at the Heart of Sicilian Mobility
Fast Parking Catania has always focused on efficiency and convenience for its customers. With the growing adoption of electric cars, we decided to install a next-generation charging station directly in our parking lot, just minutes from Fontanarossa Airport. It is a charging point accessible 24/7, designed to allow our customers to recharge their car while traveling or during long-term parking.
This new infrastructure adds to our existing services, such as the free shuttle, video surveillance, and online booking options. We now also offer electric charging to meet the needs of modern, eco-conscious travelers.
Why Choose Fast Parking for Electric Car Charging?
The decision to install an EV charging station stems from our commitment to providing a comprehensive service for those who choose sustainable mobility. Charging your electric car while you're traveling has never been easier. But how do you charge your electric vehicle at Fast Parking Catania?
It's very simple: upon arrival, our staff will guide you through the process of connecting to the charging station. The charging mode can be adjusted according to your vehicle's maximum supported power. Our facility supports both slow AC charging and faster options.
How to Charge an Electric Car: All Available Options
Charging an electric car is easy, but it's helpful to know the available methods. At Fast Parking Catania, you can use alternating current (AC) charging via a Type 2 connector, compatible with most vehicles on the market.
The main charging modes include:
- Slow charging: typically up to 3.7 kW, ideal for long stays such as airport parking. Perfect for multi-day trips.
- AC charging: available up to 22 kW, the most common in public parking areas. Our charging station supports this option, providing flexibility depending on the car model.
We are also working to introduce a dedicated wall box for customers with a subscription or advance booking to optimize charging times and enhance the experience.
Charging Time: How Long Does It Take?
Charging time depends on several factors: the station's maximum power, the vehicle’s battery capacity, and the initial charge level. On average, a slow charge can take 4 to 8 hours for a full charge. With higher AC power, a car can be charged in 2 to 4 hours.
At Fast Parking, thanks to multiple charging points, it’s easy to find the solution that best fits your schedule. Service availability is confirmed during the booking process.
Public Charging Stations vs Private Charging: The Benefits of Fast Parking
There are many public charging stations today, but they’re not always near travel hubs. Fast Parking offers the convenience of charging your car in a strategic location, minimizing stress and downtime.
While public stations often require apps, cards, or specific subscriptions, our process is simplified. At check-in, just request the service and our staff will take care of the EV charging according to your instructions.
Additionally, with our integrated system, we can update you on the charging status via SMS or email, ensuring full remote control and peace of mind.
Can Any Electric Vehicle Be Charged?
Absolutely. Our charging stations are compatible with all major electric vehicle models, including city cars, sedans, SUVs, and electric vans. All vehicles with a Type 2 AC connector can be charged.
We recommend you indicate your vehicle model during booking so we can check technical specifications and optimize the EV charging experience for your needs.
