OMV Petrom expands its recharging stations network for electric vehicles in
South-Eastern Europe

 

►  OMV Petrom will be the first energy company with an e-mobility
infrastructure in four countries in South-Eastern Europe

►  Approximately 100 recharging stations will be installed by the end of
2022

►  All recharging stations will support fast and ultra-fast recharging of
the electric vehicles

 

OMV Petrom, the largest energy company in Southeast Europe, is expanding its
network of recharging stations for electric vehicles in Moldova and Serbia, in
Petrom and OMV filling stations. Thus, OMV Petrom becomes the first energy
company in the region with a network of recharging stations in four
South-Eastern European countries. The infrastructure for powering electric
cars is being developed together with partners from the electric mobility
sector.

Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Serbia will be connected by the end of 2022
through a network of around 100 fast and ultra-fast recharging stations. A
short waiting time for recharging will encourage the electromobility in the
region. Fast charging stations ensure that 80% of the battery is recharged in
about 40 minutes; for ultra-fast ones, the estimated recharge time is less
than 20 minutes.

Radu Căprău, member of OMV Petrom Executive Board, responsible for
Downstream Oil: "We are expanding our electromobility offer in all the
countries in the region where we have filling stations. Basically, by the end
of 2022, about 15% of the OMV and Petrom regional network will have recharging
stations. By 2030, we will provide our customers with approximately 500
stations with alternative solutions for mobility such as electro-mobility, gas
mobility such as LNG and CNG and hydrogen."

The development of the recharging network in Romania and in Bulgaria

OMV Petrom was the first energy company in Romania that, in a pilot project
carried out together with Electrica, installed four years ago the first fast
recharging station for electric vehicles, in an OMV filling station.

In the past two years, OMV Petrom has concluded three partnerships with
Eldrive, Enel X and Renovatio to develop a network of 80 fast and ultra-fast
recharging stations in Romania and Bulgaria. Out of these, at least 20 will be
ultra-fast charging stations. Currently, there are 19 recharging stations
operational in Romania and Bulgaria.

 

The expansion in Moldova and Serbia

OMV Petrom will expand its partnership with Renovatio in Moldova, with a
minimum of 5 recharging stations, with an installed capacity of 75 kW. They
will be installed in Petrom filling stations located in Chisinau, as well as
in other cities across Moldova.

OMV Petrom will implement in Serbia by the end of the first semester of 2022,
in partnership with charge&GO - the regional EV charging platform, a
network of 5 charging stations for electric vehicles in OMV filling stations,
located on Serbia's highways. Their available power will be between 100 kW and
200 kW.
