St1 to expand high-power charging network
The company has already opened over 30 new charging locations across Finland and continues to develop a comprehensive charging network in Sweden and Norway.
St1 has expanded its high-power charging network for electric vehicles (EV) across Europe in 2024, with over 30 new high-power charging fields in Finland and will keep expanding charging services in Sweden and Norway.
In total, the company has invested about €50 million in increasing its charging infrastructure during 2024. In Finland, St1 aims to meet the demands of the evolving EV market, currently at over 110,000 vehicles, providing an accessible, fast and reliable charging option.
In Norway, the network already covers more than 70 stations and hundreds of charging points, while in Sweden, charging points have been opened at 15 stations this year.
"The St1 Charge high-power charging fields are designed to make the everyday life of electric vehicle drivers easier. The stations are located in central locations at St1 and Shell stations with good transport connections,” said Juha Vanninen, Head of Retail at St1.
Payment services will be developed further and, in 2025, it will also be possible to pay for charging with the company’s app and corporate card.
St1 has received support for its investments through the EU's Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme, which promotes construction through co-financing in Finland and Sweden. In addition, the Energy Authority has financed the construction of charging points in Finland.
