Estonian company Eleport, the leading electric vehicle (EV) public charging network in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), announces its expansion into Croatia and Slovenia through the strategic acquisition of Austria´s company TurboVolt GmbH.

Already the largest EV charging operator in the Baltics and the fourth largest in Poland, Eleport’s network will now cover six countries. Besides two new markets the company currently operates over 800 charging points in Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

The first phase of the company’s expansion includes the launch of 17 high-powered EV charging hubs at both Supernova and SES shopping centers in Croatia and Slovenia. Each hub will feature up to 12 user-friendly, high-speed chargers, delivering up to 300 kW of power per socket. The initial hubs in Croatia will open in Zadar and Zagreb, with the first Slovenian hub launching in Ljubljana.

“This acquisition is another pivotal step in Eleport’s long-term plan of becoming the leading EV charging network in Central and Eastern Europe,” said Jakub Miler, CEO of Eleport.

“TurboVolt’s strategy and goals align perfectly with ours, and I am excited to work with their team to accelerate the deployment of a reliable, fast-charging infrastructure that meets our customers’ expectations,” added Miler.

Anthony Hinde, CEO of TurboVolt, echoed this enthusiasm, stating, “Joining forces with Eleport aligns perfectly with our vision of expanding access to sustainable transportation solutions. Together, we will provide market leading solutions for high speed charging in Central and Eastern Europe  markets which urgently need solutions.”

The acquisition will significantly enhance the EV charging experience for customers, offering greater accessibility and convenience. All chargers across Eleport’s network in the six countries run exclusively on 100% renewable energy.

In May the company stated that by the end of this year they plans to reach 1350 operational charging points and accelerate its growth in new CEE markets.
