Finland’s Kesko plans to double its existing charging network, operated through its K-Auto arm, bringing the total number of charging stations to 200.
The organization plans to open new stations with the logo and update existing ones, he said.
It plans to expand the number of fast, high-power charging issues it offers.
K-Auto has been building its network since 2018, and lately the network covers 107 charging stations in Finland. The stations have 332 basic charging problems and 149 fast and maximum charging problems for fast charging. All peak charging stations help a charging voltage of 800 volts.
All the electrical energy charged from the K-Charging stations is one hundred percent renewable, produced from domestic wind energy.
Over the course of the year, Kesko will expand its network to many new places that consumers want, adding Loimaa, Jämsä, Pori and Keminmaa, he said. Each will be supplied with two hundred kW chargers capable of charging 4 cars simultaneously.
In addition to the new stations, several older stations in the Helsinki metropolitan area will be renovated.
“This year we are developing faster than ever and doubling the length of our network,” said Tom von Bonsdorff, Kesko’s director of K-Charging.
“In line with our strategy, we will continue to expand the network with K retailers where there is demand, i. e. to cities and places to travel. “
During the year, two completely new power categories will also be incorporated into K-Auto charging stations.
The first one hundred kW high-capacity chargers will be installed in summer, and after the summer, a number of three-hundred kW high-power charging stations with six charging problems will be installed.
“Over the years, we have established our position as a reliable and stylish cargo provider,” von Bonsdorff added. “By the end of this year, we will be pleased to serve electric motorists with a charging network twice as large. , and at least at the same speed with which we will finish continuing in the years to come. “
