ABC has publicly apologized after an unpleasant incident occurred at a charging station in Toijala. Customers using the electric vehicle charging points experienced a shocking situation when sewage from a frozen drain overflowed, contaminating the area. This incident, which involved human waste, raised serious concerns about the cleanliness and safety of public charging facilities. The problem began last Thursday and, despite initial cleaning efforts, it was only on the following day that the charging station was closed for thorough disinfection.

In its apology, shared on the Facebook group "Charging Network - Now!", ABC acknowledged that it should have closed the site immediately after the incident occurred, admitting that a significant error was made in response to the crisis. The company recognized the discomfort and health risks posed to electric vehicle users, who were left unhappy with the lack of prompt action. This apology is an attempt to restore trust among its customers and demonstrate accountability.

The incident has sparked discussions around the maintenance of public facilities, particularly those serving electric vehicles, as EV usage continues to rise. Proper management of these facilities is crucial for ensuring user safety and satisfaction, especially as more environmentally friendly vehicle options become available to the public. ABC's mishap may serve as a wake-up call for better oversight in the maintenance of charging stations across Finland.
