Midsummer motoring mayhem is coming to CTEK's area at the Ultrace gathering in Gdańsk at the end of June.

At Ultrace's Polish celebration of global automotive culture on June 27 and 28, CTEK is bringing both the cars and the stars of the scene.

We have the genius builder behind Ruffian Cars – Chris Ashton – who will be available to meet fans of his amazing creations. Chris uses CTEK battery chargers to keep his roster of outstanding cars and projects in prime performance condition.

Visit the CTEK area at Ultrace to meet Chris and enjoy a close-up look at two of his standout creations: the Ruffian GT40 and the Ruffian Galaxie.

The GT40 is a reimagined 1966 Ford GT40 Mk 1 with a 5.2 litre DOHC, whilst the 1963 Galaxie brings 700 horsepower of race car to the street in the shape of a full-size American sedan.

Signing up as a CTEK brand ambassador will be Fredric Aasb, three-time Formula Drift champion. The Norwegian is a flat-out Formula Drift legend. From his debut in 2008, Fredric has won more than any other driver.

A drift fan favourite, Fredric drives the Rockstar Energy Toyota GR Supra which packs more than 1,000 horsepower.

And there's even more to enjoy with CTEK at Ultrace Poland; the German speed engineers HWA are bringing one of their creations. The HWA EVO is a high-performance sports car at home on the road and track, built on the heritage of the Mercedes-Benz 190E but developed from scratch as a limited edition of 100.

HWA will be joined by CTEK's friends at ChromeCars – the 'Automotive Archaeologists' who seek out rare automotive gems from across the world.

There are a thousand reasons to visit Ultrace and every reason to swing by CTEK at this uniquely exciting event for fans of visionary automotive excellence.

CTEK becomes EV charging partner to the Swedish Ski Association

CTEK has entered into a new agreement with the Swedish Ski Association, providing CC3 EV charging infrastructure at Riksskidstadion in Falun, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office. Delivered alongside installation partner Kalema e-Mobility, the charging solutions will support electric passenger cars and support vehicles used by athletes, coaches, staff and the wider organisation. Falun, Sweden – CTEK, a global leader in battery charging and electric vehicle charging, has entered into a new agreement with the Swedish Ski Association to provide EV charging infrastructure at Riksskidstadion in Falun, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office. Under the agreement, CTEK is providing charging solutions from its CHARGESTORM CONNECTED 3 (CC3) product family. The project is being delivered alongside installation partner Kalema e-Mobility, which is carrying out the installations at Riksskidstadion, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office. The chargers will support electric passenger cars and support vehicles used by athletes, coaches and staff, as well as other electric vehicles operated by the Swedish Ski Association. They will provide reliable and convenient charging when vehicles are at Riksskidstadion, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena or the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office, supporting the Association’s continued transition towards more sustainable transport. For the Swedish Ski Association, the drive to constantly improve goes beyond athletic performance. The Association believes it is equally important to keep improving the smart, climate-friendly solutions that support its everyday operations. “We are delighted to work with the Swedish Ski Association as its EV charging partner. Elite sport depends not only on what happens on the track or slopes, but also on the people, vehicles and infrastructure working behind the scenes. By providing our CC3 charging technology and working alongside Kalema e-Mobility, we can help support the Association’s everyday operations and its transition towards more electrified transport,” said Johanna Mogren Sundqvist, Sales Manager EVSE at CTEK. Developed in Sweden for professional EV charging, CC3 can be adapted to different organisations, vehicle requirements and parking environments. The EV chargers can provide up to 22 kW per outlet and support connectivity and load balancing. This allows the available electrical capacity to be used efficiently while enabling the charging infrastructure to expand as the Swedish Ski Association’s requirements grow. "For us, this investment is about creating the conditions for a smarter and more sustainable operation. Our athletes, coaches and staff travel extensively throughout the year, and reliable charging infrastructure is becoming an increasingly important part of our everyday operations. CTEK combines proven technology with strong local roots in Dalarna, making them a natural supplier as we continue to develop our organisation and reduce the environmental impact of our transport solutions," said Johan Gräfnings, Swedish Ski Association. The agreement connects CTEK’s home in Falun, Dalarna, with the Swedish Ski Association’s activities at Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and its Åre office in Jämtland. For CTEK, it is an opportunity to support the Swedish Ski Association and its national teams with technology that makes a practical difference behind the scenes. The collaboration will also give CTEK agreed brand visibility across the Swedish Ski Association’s activities.
