Redi Shopping Center, Helsinki

Overview

As one of Helsinki’s most prominent urban hubs, Kauppakeskus Redi required a massive, scalable solution to meet the growing demand for electric mobility among its visitors and residents. The project was delivered as a full turnkey solution, covering everything from customized design to final installation.

Challenge

The primary challenge was the sheer scale of the installation—coordinating the deployment of over 200 dual-charging units within a single shopping center complex. Additionally, the project required a specific aesthetic “product design” to ensure the hardware integrated seamlessly with the modern visual identity of the Redi brand.

Solution

Harju Elekter provided a comprehensive delivery that prioritized both aesthetics and high-capacity output. By managing the design process in-house, they were able to provide a tailored product look that met the client’s specific requirements while ensuring the technical infrastructure could handle the simultaneous load of hundreds of vehicles.

Technical description

The installation is characterized by high-density power delivery:

• Quantity: 238 charging units.
• Capacity: Each unit is a 2×22 kW station, allowing for two vehicles to charge simultaneously at high speeds per station.
• Total Ports: The configuration provides nearly 500 individual charging points.
• Design: Custom product design integrated into the manufacturing process to meet the mall’s architectural standards.

Outcome

The project was completed successfully and strictly according to the original schedule. Upon completion, it set a benchmark for retail EV infrastructure in Finland, significantly enhancing Redi’s profile as a future-proof, eco-friendly shopping destination.
