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.
