PowerGo has proudly announced the opening of its latest ultra-fast charging location at Lillebælt, Denmark. This new facility, equipped with seven 400-kilowatt chargers, is now the largest ultra-fast charging hub operated by PowerGo in Europe. Strategically positioned along the E20 highway, a key segment of Europe’s central transport network (TEN-T), the Lillebælt hub is set to enhance the convenience and efficiency of electric vehicle (EV) travel across the region.
Earlier this year, PowerGo was awarded a significant tender by the Danish Road Directorate (Vejdirektoratet) to expand its network of public charging stations. The newly inaugurated site at Lillebælt Syd directly results from this successful bid, underscoring PowerGo’s commitment to advancing EV infrastructure in Denmark. As with all PowerGo locations, the Lillebælt Syd charging station is powered by 100% green energy, sourced from solar parks operated by PowerGo’s parent company, PowerField. This alignment with sustainable practices ensures that drivers can confidently charge their vehicles, knowing that their energy use is fully renewable.
Frederikke Fog, Tender Manager at PowerGo, emphasized the significance of this expansion, stating, “We are working diligently to provide EV drivers with fast, easy, and convenient charging options for their long journeys. Installing ultra-fast chargers at key traffic junctions in Denmark is crucial for making electric vehicles an even more attractive option for Danish drivers.”
The Lillebælt Syd location features six parking spaces to accommodate longer vehicles, including cars with trailers, camping trailers, and vehicles adapted for individuals with disabilities. This thoughtful design enhances accessibility and convenience for a wide range of users. This new hub forms part of PowerGo’s broader initiative to establish a comprehensive European charging network. To date, PowerGo has secured eighteen tenders, facilitating the installation of over 1,600 public charging points across Denmark. The company’s goal is to significantly improve the availability and accessibility of charging infrastructure for EV drivers.
At PowerGo, charging prices are dynamic and reflect the hourly market rate for electricity, ensuring transparency and fairness. EV drivers have the flexibility to pay using a charging card, debit or credit card, or through the free PowerGo Charge app, which adds to the convenience of the charging experience. The Lillebælt Syd site is the second ultra-fast charging hub PowerGo has developed in collaboration with Vejdirektoratet. The first, located in Haderup near Route 34, has already demonstrated the benefits of this partnership in advancing Denmark’s EV infrastructure.
“We are dedicated to accelerating the green transition and are proud to contribute to the expansion of public charging infrastructure across Europe,” said Frederikke Fog. “Our mission is to ensure that charging is not only accessible and flexible but also fully aligned with green energy principles.” PowerGo’s commitment to green and efficient charging is reflected in its ongoing efforts to build an expansive international network of fast-charging stations. These facilities are strategically located across shopping centers, business parks, urban areas, and regional hubs, providing widespread access to fast, reliable, and environmentally friendly charging options.
As a subsidiary of PowerField, a Dutch leader in solar energy generation and storage, PowerGo benefits from a comprehensive approach to renewable energy. PowerField’s expertise in generating, storing, and utilizing solar power ensures that PowerGo’s charging points are consistently powered by 100% solar energy.
In addition to its work with Vejdirektoratet, PowerGo has successfully executed numerous large-scale projects for a diverse range of partners, including Jumbo, Basic-Fit, Radisson Hotel Group, Intratuin, KFC, and various governmental bodies across seven European countries. Through its innovative solutions and strategic partnerships, PowerGo is paving the way for a sustainable future in mobility, making the transition to electric vehicles more accessible and efficient for everyone.
