Electric vehicle charging parks
|4 EV park projects
|Investment: EUR 12 million
ELDRIVE – tai tarptautinė įmonė, vystanti elektromobilių įkrovimo parkų tinklą Lietuvoje. Lig šiol nevykdžiusi veiklos Lietuvoje ir neturinti patirties statybų ir NT plėtros srityse, ELDRIVE ieškojo partnerio, kuris galėtų pasirūpinti visa projekto eiga – nuo koncepcijos sukūrimo iki galutinio įgyvendinimo. Taip pat buvo pageidaujama per trumpą laiką atidaryti keletą objektų.
ELDRIVE is an international company developing a network of electric vehicle charging stations in Lithuania. New to the country’s business environment, and with no previous experience in construction and RE development, ELDRIVE was looking for a partner that could take charge of the project as a whole – from concept to implementation. The company also wanted to have several operational stations within a short period.
The project required funding and land suitable for ensuring sufficient electric capacity.
Since the land lots chosen for the project were strategically located next to highways, the entrances and the layout of the stations had to be coordinated with AB VIA LIETUVA. The project also required a recognisable design for the charging stations.
KENOVA turned the idea into reality, taking care of its implementation at every stage on behalf of the client. This included market research, purchasing land adjacent to major roads, and developing a unique concept for the project, encompassing not only the charging stations themselves, but also the CAFFEINE and NARVESEN cafés, as well as areas for work and leisure. With everything in place, we proceeded with the design stage, quickly obtained building permits, arranged the necessary tenders, and now continue to supervise the ongoing construction process.
Despite ELDRIVE being a newcomer to the Lithuanian market, the network of EV charging stations is growing without impediment. With matters related to procuring funding and risks inherent to construction projects off their shoulders, our clients can focus on their core business. They also benefit from our knowledge of the Lithuanian market, namely: its legal framework, construction-related processes, etc.
Kenova and VLI Timber are planning a state-of-the-art factory in the Jonava district. The total investment in buildings, infrastructure, and technological equipment will amount to approximately EUR 35 million, creating 150 new jobs.
The park is unique in terms of its size and technological solutions. It will allow up to 20 electric vehicles to charge simultaneously, with powerful 'Alpitronic' stations ensuring fast charging. The park features rest areas, a Caffeine LT café, a 'Narvesen' store, a children's playground, and a child care room.
Kenova has reached an agreement with Bigbank for financing of up to EUR 6 million for the development of four 'Eldrive' electric vehicle charging parks along major roads in Lithuania.
Construction of the third Eldrive Lithuania electric vehicle charging park developed by Kenova has officially begun in Senoji Varėna. It is planned that by the beginning of 2025, the park will be able to charge up to 10 electric vehicles at the same time. A Caffeine LT Drive In café will also operate here.
The project is being built on the 156th kilometre of the Vilnius-Kaunas-Klaipėda motorway, with construction scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. The fully equipped charging park will be able to charge 40 electric vehicles at a time.
