Circle K has opened its first EV charging-only location in Europe, in Gårda near central Gothenburg.

The location has ten 400 kW chargers and a 1,076 ft² (100 m²) convenience store, making it the largest EV charging-only convenience location in Circle K’s global network.

Circle K Gårda is positioned alongside Sweden’s E6 motorway, which carries more than 100,000 vehicles daily. Over 10,000 people work in the vicinity.

The opening of the Gårda location follows the opening of Circle K’s largest EV charging hub launch in Järna, Sweden. The company’s European network now includes more than 3,000 Circle K branded chargers and continues to grow quickly to meet rising demand.

“With ultra-fast chargers, great food and beverage options, WiFi and ample seating, the site has been designed to meet our customers’ needs. It’s a clear step forward in our ambition to be the preferred on-the-go charging destination across Europe,” said Hans-Olav Høidahl, EVP European Operations and Global eMobility.
