The largest Romanian network of charging stations for electric cars, Renovatio e-charge, received a grant of 9.5 million euros from the European Union. The grant will be used for the construction of new 242 e-charging stations.
The European Executive Agency for Climate, Infrastructure and Environment (CINEA) recently signed the financing agreements with the members of the Expand-E Consortium (EXpanding Performance and Network Density – Electric), of which Renovatio e-charge is also part.
Expand-E Consortium plans to install, between June 2022 and June 2025, in over 450 locations, from 22 EU member states, a total of 2,100 charging points (150 – 350kW), intended for light and heavy electric vehicles for transporting goods.
The EU finances this project by awarding a grant in the total amount of 70 million euros, of which 9.5 million euros go to Romania.
