Slovenia will get 26 new fast charging stations for electric vehicles by the end of the year as part of the Central European Green Corridors (CEGC) project.
The stations will be compatible with most electric vehicles, according to Slovenia's electricity system operator (SODO), one of the fourteen partners in the EU-funded project.
As part of CECG 115 fast charging stations will be set up by the end of the year in Austria, Slovakia and in Slovenia. The system will also provide connections to Munich and Zagreb.
"CEGC represents an important step in coordinating and synchronising various EU projects" in the field, according to SODO.
The project includes car makers BMW, Nissan, Renault and Volkswagen. Austrian energy group OMV will provide locations and Slovak electricity supplier ZSE will provide the energy. Slovenia's government and SODO are also a part of the project.
CEGC was set up as part of the Trans-European Transport Network project and is supported with EU funds.
