Wien Energie passes 3,000 public Austrian charge points
The utility added 500 points through its takeover and plans up to 1,000 more in Vienna, as EVs reach a record third of new registrations.
Wien Energie now operates more than 3,000 publicly accessible charge points across Austria, all supplied with 100% green electricity. Around 500 of them came from ella, which Wien Energie fully acquired at the start of the year. These sites, in Lower Austria, Upper Austria and Burgenland, have been integrated into its network after a transition phase, expanding the portfolio by about 20%. Customers can also use 24,000 partner charge points across Austria.
Further growth is planned. After opening four fast-charging sites at key traffic hubs in 2025, Wien Energie aims to install up to 1,000 new public charge points across Vienna in the coming years, along with ten more fast-charging parks. It is also focusing on charging at home and in multi-apartment buildings.
According to the company, its Tanke tariffs for both fast and standard charging are among the cheapest on the market.
The expansion comes as e-mobility gains ground in Austria. In September 2026, a record 33.6% of newly registered cars were fully electric, and more than 300,000 EVs are now on the country’s roads. To mark the milestone, Wien Energie’s Energy Tower in Vienna will be transformed into a giant charging station in the coming weeks.
