Ruka x EV Mobile

Ruka took a significant step toward more responsible and smoother mobility when the area’s first high-power charging station was brought into service. The solution answers growing demand for electric vehicle charging and gives visitors a fast and effortless charging experience exactly where the service is needed most.

High-power charging from RukaValley’s existing capacity, with no additional investment

Ruka’s aim is to make sure that the service for electric vehicle drivers is effective and reliable, and aligned with the area’s sustainable tourism and energy policy. Electric mobility solutions support Ruka’s Sustainable Travel Finland objectives and strengthen its position as a responsible and attractive destination, without creating investments, additional costs or demand charge risks for the area.

The solution is built on RukaValley’s existing energy infrastructure, where the grid connection and substation of Kiinteistöosakeyhtiö RukaValley provide roughly 300 kW of unused capacity. That makes delivering high-power charging both straightforward and cost-effective.

EV Mobile’s requirement is 200 kW at most, so the charging solution could be brought into use entirely without new grid connection investments. This shortened the delivery time considerably and allowed the service to start on a fast schedule. The charging solution was delivered from RukaValley’s existing low-voltage network, because the available power reserve is sufficient to supply high-power charging.

Demand for electric vehicle charging is growing, and Ruka is meeting it

As the number of fully electric vehicles grows, charging demand at Ruka is estimated to rise by 20 to 40 percent between the 2024–2025 and 2025–2026 winter seasons. Only a few new chargers are planned for the area, so high-power charging fills a critical gap in the service offering.

The new station gives Ruka its first genuinely fast charging point, serving visitors, residents and local businesses. It reduces queuing, shortens charging times and improves accessibility for electric vehicles, which is a competitive advantage during the peak season in particular.

A turnkey charging solution with no investment

The model EV Mobile offers is exceptionally straightforward for Ruka: turnkey high-power charging with no investment and a fast delivery schedule.

EV Mobile’s solution delivers:

  • 240 kW of continuous power from the existing low-voltage connection
  • up to 320 kW of peak power through battery buffering
  • delivery with no connection or equipment investment

The benefits include:

  • no costs to Ruka
  • no demand charge risk
  • fast delivery times
  • charging that scales to the needs of the coming years

Ruka gains a complete service that supports its strategy, strengthens its sustainability profile and serves a growing flow of visitors arriving in electric vehicles, reinforcing both the competitiveness and the accessibility of the area.
