Rompetrol plans to build a new fast-charging network for electric passenger cars and commercial vehicles in Romania, with 30 charging stations scheduled to enter operation by the end of 2027.
The project is being implemented by Rompetrol Financial Group, Rompetrol Downstream and KMG Rompetrol Development, all part of KMG International.
According to the company, the charging network will span 26 locations across Romania and include infrastructure for both passenger vehicles and heavy-duty electric trucks.
Rompetrol said 13 of the planned stations will specifically target electric trucks.
These heavy-duty charging locations will each feature one charging point delivering up to 350 kW of charging power.
The remaining 17 stations will support electric passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, with charging capacities ranging from 150 kW to 300 kW.
The company did not disclose the hardware supplier for the project or provide exact station locations.
In total, the planned network is expected to include 45 charging points.
Given that the 13 truck charging stations will each contain a single charging point, the remaining 32 charging points are expected to be distributed across the passenger vehicle charging locations.
Rompetrol said the project represents an investment of approximately 8.2 million euros.
The initiative includes 2.01 million euros in funding from the European Union through the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme.
The project timeline covers 30 months, with completion scheduled for Dec. 11, 2027.
According to the company, the charging network is intended to support growing demand for electric mobility infrastructure along Romania’s key TEN-T transport corridors.
Rompetrol added that the initiative specifically addresses the expected rise in charging demand from both passenger vehicles and electric freight transport.
The project marks KMG International’s second electromobility initiative supported through EU co-financing mechanisms.
