E-Mobility, a subsidiary of Soltech Group, has opened one of Sweden’s largest electric truck charging stations. The station boasts 15 fast-charging points at Gothenburgs Lastbilscentral (GLC) hub with a combined output of 1 megawatt, accessible to GLC’s co-owners and drivers 24/7.
The technology for the station was supplied by Finnish company Kempower, which has formed a consortium with Swedish charge point operator Nimbet and Finnish infrastructure service provider Virta to establish a nationwide charging network for electric trucks in Sweden.
“It feels great that we have reached the finish line with this project for GLC, which invests heavily in charging infrastructure. The fact that we collaborate with Kempower also feels good as they assist with a technical solution that is both powerful and intelligent, which this type of large-scale charging stations requires” says Martin Götesson, CEO of E-Mobility

The number of planned charging points has not been disclosed. With roughly 85,000 heavy trucks on Swedish roads, the country aims to decarbonize road freight transport by 2045.
We are delighted to see this project go live. Commissioning one of Sweden’s largest private e-truck charging stations highlights the power of bringing ambitious Nordic companies together. We see the electrification of buses and trucks developing rapidly in the coming years and projects such as this are meaningful ways to electrify transport, says Tomi Ristimäki, CEO of Kempower.
