In 2024, Epicenter plans to quadruple the network of charging stations for electric cars and even open new locations

In 2023, the company "Epicentr" launched a network of charging hubs for electric cars under the E1 brand. Since then, 10 locations have been operating in different regions of the country. In 2024, they plan to increase their number to 30, he writes dev.ua.

Initially, the retailer will equip parking lots of shopping centers in the western and central regions of the country with charging stations: Kyiv, Cherkassy, ​​Vinnytsia, Lutsk, Uzhgorod, Mukachevo, Kamianets-Podilskyi, Stryi and other cities. But it is also planned to open charging stations in the south and east of the country (Dnipro, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia), where other operators have practically suspended development due to security risks.

To improve the quality of equipment and service, "Epicentr" cooperates with the Lviv technological service GO TO-U. Thanks to this, electric car owners will be able to receive innovative services for the Ukrainian market: reserve charging connectors in advance, pay for charging not only through a personal wallet in the application, but also directly by bank card using Apple Pay and Google Pay.

In addition, the retailer plans to purchase high-quality and powerful charging equipment from the Zaporizhzhia manufacturer UGV, which uses reliable component companies Siemens and has positive feedback from electric car drivers.
