ČEZ is supporting the development of electric cars in the Czech Republic in every way, with the most important activity being the rapid expansion of the charging infrastructure. In the last year alone, it increased the total capacity of the most widespread and trusted Czech public charging network from 36.7 to 51 MW. From January to March, drivers at ČEZ stations added more than 1.8 m kWh of certified green electricity to their car batteries, which is almost 2/3 more than in the same period last year.
“ČEZ is constantly increasing the quality and scope of its network. We have recently been focusing mainly on the construction of ultra-fast stands, of which we want to have more than 110 by the end of this year. Since January, we have also significantly reduced charging prices at fast and ultra-fast stations, and people appreciate it. More than 10,000 new drivers have registered with us in the last year alone, including 3,000 since the end of December after the announcement of the new and more favourable price plans. We expect that with this rate of growth of new customers combined with the construction of new stations, we could significantly exceed 7 million kWh of emission-free electricity consumption this year,” said Tomáš Dzurilla, Emobility Director at ČEZ.
On average, drivers fill up at ČEZ stands the fastest in the whole country, thanks to the highest network performance. The construction of new ultra-fast stations of 150 kW or more, where people can recharge their batteries for up to 150 km of driving in 10 minutes, is contributing to this. Charging hubs with a large number of stations effectively mean drivers do not have to wait for a free charging stand.
- Most ČEZ stations have two charging points, so the network can supply green energy to the batteries of nearly 1,400 electric vehicles at any one time.
- Drivers used ČEZ charging points more than 90,000 times between January and March this year. This was 55% more than the 58,000 “refuelings” in the first quarter of 2023.
- The busiest stations in the network, with annual consumption in the tens of thousands of kWh, are located in Prague, in the Central Bohemia Region, and on the main D1, D5, D10 and D11 motorways.
