Estonia’s first 400 kW EV chargers are arriving via Alexela
The retailer will establish the first fast charger at its Täkupoiss service station and has 12 more e-mobility projects planned.
Domestic energy company Alexela is speeding up the development of Estonia’s charging infrastructure by installing 400 kW electric vehicle (EV) chargers. The first charger of this kind is set to be installed this month at the Täkupoiss service station in Sauga.
This charger can power two cars at the same time and the company aims to install it across its service stations in Jüri, Harju County, and on Peterburi Road in Tallinn by the end of the year.
Drivers will be able to pay for the charging session by bank card and in cash, as the firm’s goal is to serve both local customers and tourists who may come from different countries.
"With our installation of 400 kW chargers, we are so far ahead of the market development that these chargers should not have any troubles in the next 10 years in terms of new electric vehicles entering the market. Some electric cars with a charging capacity of 230-270 kW have been launched, while the most common models are with a charging capacity of 120-150 kW. Such 400 kW chargers will be placed in service stations in such a way that in the case of an electric car with a trailer, it is not necessary to remove the trailer from the back of the car for charging," said Alan Vaht, Head of E-mobility at Alexela.
Alexela's e-mobility team currently has a total of 12 projects underway, as the company is committed to promoting environmentally friendly mobility and charging infrastructure across the country.
