Estonia-based EV charging infrastructure developer Eleport has launched a charging hub in Kaunas, Lithuania.

The 20 charging stations installed during the first phase of the project include 12 DC and 8 AC chargers, serving up to 40 EVs simultaneously. Eleport plans to add another 20 stations, bringing the charging capacity up to 3 MW and the total investment in the site to €1 million.

“The EV community in Lithuania is growing, with a 50% increase in electric cars over the past two years. However, it’s still a niche market. Projects like this one by Eleport are crucial in encouraging more people to switch to electric vehicles,” said EU Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius.

Eleport plans to invest over €20 million this year and more than €100 million in the coming years across its primary markets in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Poland. By the end of this year, Eleport aims to operate over 1,350 charging points.
