Enefit has embarked on a major expansion of its electric car charging network. Today, Enefit Volt's public charging network covers the whole of Estonia with nearly 200 charging points, and over the next year the company will open first charging stations in Latvia and Lithuania, thus establishing a foothold throughout the Baltics.
‘We are moving step-by-step to create cohesive charging network across all home markets. This is driven by the desire to increase user confidence in the widespread availability of chargers, not only in Estonian cities and on Estonian roads, but also in neighbouring countries. So, for example, when going on holiday to Lithuania, the customer can be sure that their car will be charged. Enefit Volt's green stations will be a familiar companion throughout the journey,’ said Aljona Jakovleva, Commercial Manager at Enefit Volt.‘The deployment of fast and ultra-fast chargers is partly possible thanks to various subsidies. One of these is the Connecting Europe Facility, or CEF, support we received last year and this year. We are grateful to our supporters as well as to our partners, in cooperation with whom we can provide our customers with high quality and environmentally sustainable solutions and contribute to the spread of clean transport,’ said Jakovleva.
The first 250 chargers will be in place by the end of 2024. In total, Enefit plans to install more than 1,000 charging stations across Lithuania by 2026. Similar development projects are also being carried out in Latvia and Poland.
