The sites, which are already open to the public, have boosted DC fast charging availability in Latvia by adding a total of 14 new DC charging points to the country’s EV charging infrastructure.
Kempower has provided fast chargers with different power ranges to best serve the diverse needs of all EV drivers in Dreilini, Bergi and Sigulda. The DC charging points offer power from 50 kW to ultra-fast 200 kW. The charging systems can be found at the Saga shopping centre in Dreilini, the Sky supermarket in the Bergi neighbourhood and the Sokolade shopping centre in Sigulda.
Eleport is the most modern electric car charging network in the Baltics and Poland with more than 150 charging stations. To continue the electrification of the transport sector, the company has signed a cooperation agreement with Europe's leading transport platform Bolt, to build a charging network that will drive the electrification of ride-sharing services, and has secured investment from Northern European green energy company Branch, to continue development in the markets of Central and Eastern Europe.
"Our mission is to ensure the most comfortable transition to electric transportation, which is why we want to introduce the most convenient, modern and innovative charging solutions for Latvian EV drivers,” said Kārlis Mendziņš, manager of Eleport Latvia. “To achieve this, we’ve teamed up with Kempower, whose systems have already received positive feedback from our users in Estonia. At our new charging systems, EV drivers can count on a convenient charging process, fast payment procedures and enough charge to last all day.”
