Qelo surpasses 2 GWh delivered through Kempower chargers as Croatia’s EV charging network expands
10.11.2026 10:00:00 EET | Kempower Oyj | Press release
Qelo, one of Croatia’s fastest-growing EV charging networks, has reached an important milestone by surpassing 2 GWh of energy delivered through its ultra-fast charging infrastructure, supplied by DC charging manufacturer Kempower.
The achievement reflects the rapid growth of electric mobility in Croatia and the increasing demand for reliable, high-power charging solutions. Over the past year, charging volumes across the Qelo network have accelerated significantly, with the 2 GWh milestone having been reached in October, three times faster than the first.
Qelo is currently in the middle of a major investment cycle focused on expanding its ultra-fast charging network across Croatia. By the end of the year, the company expects to operate in more than 30 locations, offering around 100 ultra-fast charging points for both domestic and international EV drivers.
Since partnering in November 2023, Qelo and Kempower have rolled out 86 ultra-fast charging connectors across 26 sites in Croatia.
“As Croatia’s largest Kempower partner, we are proud to celebrate this milestone together. Kempower’s technology has been instrumental in delivering a reliable, scalable and user-friendly charging experience as demand for electric mobility continues to rise,” said Predrag Šeatović, CEO at Qelo.
“Qelo’s rapid progress demonstrates the growing demand for high-power charging infrastructure in Croatia. Reaching 2 GWh in such a short period is a strong indication of how quickly the country’s EV charging network is developing, and we are pleased to support Qelo as it continues to expand its footprint,” added Igor Ban, Kempower's Head of Business Development for Central and South Eastern Europe.
The partnership between Qelo and Kempower continues to support the development of modern EV charging infrastructure in Croatia, helping drivers travel more confidently while contributing to the country’s transition towards sustainable mobility.

Kroatian nopeimmin kasvavien sähköautojen latausverkostoihin kuuluva Qelo on saavuttanut merkittävän 2 GW:n rajapyykin energianjakelussaan Kempowerin toimittaman DC-pikalatausinfrastruktuurin kautta. Saavutus kuvastaa sähköisen liikenteen nopeaa kasvua sekä luotettavien ja suuritehoisten latausratkaisujen kasvavaa kysyntää Kroatiassa. Viime vuoden aikana latausmäärät Qelon latausverkostossa ovat kasvaneet merkittävästi ja 2 GWh:n rajapyykki saavutettiin lokakuussa kolme kertaa nopeammin kuin ensimmäinen gigawattitunti. Qelo on parhaillaan keskellä mittavaa investointikierrosta, jonka tavoitteena on laajentaa sen ultranopeaa latausverkostoa ympäri Kroatiaa. Vuoden loppuun mennessä yhtiö arvioi toimivansa yli 30 paikkakunnalla ja tarjoavansa noin 100 ultranopeaa latauspistettä sekä kotimaisille että kansainvälisille sähköautoilijoille. Marraskuussa 2023 solmitun kumppanuuden jälkeen Qelo ja Kempower ovat ottaneet käyttöön 86 ultranopeaa latausliitintä 26 paikkakunnalla Kroatiassa. ”Kroat

Greenspot and Kempower to provide 30 fast-charging sites at retail stores across France by the end of 20276.11.2026 10:00:00 EET | Press release
The DC fast charging manufacturer Kempower is supplying fast chargers to French charge point operator Greenspot for deployment across its network at several types of sites including large retail stores and supermarkets. The first deployment covers 30 stations throughout France by the end of 2027, all built on the same standardized Kempower DC fact charging architecture, designed for fast roll-out and efficient charging while drivers do their shopping. Each of the Kempower sites uses an identical configuration, replicated across the network: a 200 kW Kempower Power Unit paired with two dual Satellites, providing four charging points. Designed for retailers with medium-sized car parks, the configuration connects to the grid under France’s medium-power “tarif jaune” supply, with no need for a transformer substation. The result is faster commissioning of sites, lower investment and fast charging for drivers while they shop. For retailers, it is expected that the service will attract new cu
