While there generally is greater interest in electric vehicles among members of the public than interest in EV chargers, there are some intriguing developments in the EV charging space. If you haven’t heard of the EV charging company Eleport, here is some background information. Eleport operates about 800 public EV chargers at 300 locations in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, and Croatia. About half of its chargers are fast ones.
Even more importantly, the company’s chargers can charge electric vehicles with clean, renewable electricity. “In collaboration with the ‘AJ Power’ group, all ‘Eleport’ customers will be provided with 100% locally produced green energy sourced from local solar, wind, and hydroelectric power stations.”
Recently, Eleport agreed with Respect Energy to use clean, renewable electricity from Respect in its chargers in Poland. “This agreement was designed to combine access to 100% renewable energy with greater transparency and control on the partner’s side — both in terms of guarantees of origin and data that enable better management of energy consumption, ESG targets, and the ability to capture market opportunities,” said Sebastian Ostrowski, Strategic Account Manager at Respect Energy. Eleport operates about 300 EV chargers in Poland.
