GreenWay expands fast-charging network in Eastern Europe

The EU project Expand-E planned the deployment of 260 fast-charging stations with a total of 1,013 charging points along the TEN-V network. The project included charging points with at least 150 kW for light electric vehicles, as well as 46 additional charging points with at least 350 kW for heavy electric commercial vehicles across nine European countries, including Poland and Slovakia.Alongside Grid Telecom, Ionity, Renovatio Asset Management, and Fortisis, GreenWay also secured funding from the programme. For its expansion in Slovakia, the charging network operator received €4.71 million, while €10.47 million was allocated for new sites in Poland. However, GreenWay did not disclose details regarding the total investments for each country.According to GreenWay, the project has now been successfully completed, and the charging infrastructure planned as part of the initiative is fully operational. The company stated that its activities over the past three years in Slovakia and Poland have made a ‘significant contribution’ to the expansion of the charging network in the region.In Slovakia, GreenWay commissioned 20 new fast-charging hubs as part of the project. These include 46 high-power chargers with 90 charging points and charging capacities of up to 400 kW. The three locations—Senec, Žilina, and Veľké Bierovce—are also equipped to provide charging options for electric trucks. In Poland, meanwhile, 35 new charging hubs were established under the Expand-E project, comprising 139 fast-charging stations with 253 charging points offering capacities between 150 and 400 kW. The network is further supplemented by 13 additional sites with 26 charging points and capacities of up to 200 kW. Some locations in Poland are also suitable for electric trucks, though GreenWay did not provide further details.“GreenWay’s ultra-fast charging hubs meet the real needs of electric vehicle drivers. With high charging capacities and well-designed infrastructure, electric trucks can also be charged during drivers’ mandatory breaks without disrupting schedules. This marks an important step towards zero-emission logistics. At the same time, we are already actively working on implementing the MCS standard in the megawatt range, which will be crucial for long-haul fleets in the coming years,” said Michal Mydlo, Managing Director of GreenWay Slovakia. Together with E.ON and Voltix, the company aims to accelerate the development of a cross-border megawatt charging network as part of the HDV-E infrastructure project. By autumn 2028, around 330 megawatt charging points are set to be installed along Europe’s key transport corridors.Source: Information via email
