EV charging parks
|4 projects completed
|Investment: over 10 mln. Eur
ELDRIVE is an international company developing a network of electric vehicle charging stations in Lithuania. Having not previously operated in Lithuania and lacking experience in construction and real estate development, ELDRIVE was looking for a partner who could manage the entire project process -- from creating the concept to final implementation. They also wanted to open several sites within a short period of time.
KENOVA turned the idea of charging parks into reality by carrying out all the steps of project implementation on behalf of the client. The market was researched, and plots of land were acquired near the country's main roads. A unique project concept was created, which includes not only electric vehicle charging stations but also CAFFEINE and NARVESEN cafés, along with designated areas for rest and work. KENOVA undertook the design work, quickly obtained construction permits, organized contractor tenders, and oversees the progress of the construction projects.
The network of EV charging parks is being successfully developed, even though ELDRIVE had no prior experience executing projects in Lithuania. Without having to worry about funding sources or construction risks, the client can focus on its core business. KENOVA also provides expertise related to the specifics of the Lithuanian market – including the legal framework, construction process management, and more.
Today, on the Vilnius–Druskininkai road, near Varėna, the third "Eldrive" electric vehicle charging park developed by "Kenova" has been opened. It features five ultra-fast charging stations, each with a capacity of 400 kW. The 100th "Caffeine" network café also opened its doors in this park!
This charging park is the second project of its kind in Lithuania and the first on the A1 highway in the Raseiniai district. It can charge up to 20 electric cars at a time, and also houses the Caffeine café and the Narvesen store.
The park is unique in terms of its size and technological solutions. It will allow up to 20 electric vehicles to charge simultaneously, with powerful 'Alpitronic' stations ensuring fast charging. The park features rest areas, a Caffeine LT café, a 'Narvesen' store, a children's playground, and a child care room.
Kenova has reached an agreement with Bigbank for financing of up to EUR 6 million for the development of four 'Eldrive' electric vehicle charging parks along major roads in Lithuania.
Construction of the third Eldrive Lithuania electric vehicle charging park developed by Kenova has officially begun in Senoji Varėna. It is planned that by the beginning of 2025, the park will be able to charge up to 10 electric vehicles at the same time. A Caffeine LT Drive In café will also operate here.
The project is being built on the 156th kilometre of the Vilnius-Kaunas-Klaipėda motorway, with construction scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. The fully equipped charging park will be able to charge 40 electric vehicles at a time.
