Kempower's €2.5M charging deals fuel Europe's electric transport revolution

Finnish charging specialist Kempower has been pushing for rapid growth across Europe. Over the past two years, the company has focused on expanding its network in Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Poland, alongside its existing markets in the Nordics and Germany. Recent projects include high-power charging stations and new contracts worth millions of euros.

The firm also faces hurdles, particularly in Southern Europe, where grid access remains a persistent challenge.

In December 2023, Kempower opened the Rifil charging station near Malmö, Sweden. The site, part of the Falkenklev Logistik network, serves both electric trucks and passenger vehicles. This followed earlier successes in public transport, with 95 buses electrified in Malmö and 121 in Denmark.

The company has also secured major deals, including a €2.5 million contract to supply fast DC charging technology to MINUSINES S.A. in Luxembourg. Beyond standard chargers, Kempower is developing high-power solutions, such as a four-megawatt station in France. Its Megawatt Charging System (MCS) for heavy transport is nearing completion, with prototypes expected in early 2024.

Guillermo López Arias, Kempower's Head of Sales for Iberia and Latin America, recently discussed these plans in an interview with Mobility Portal Group. He confirmed the company is actively scouting new cities and countries for further expansion, despite ongoing difficulties in connecting to local power grids—especially in Southern Europe.

Kempower's push into new markets includes high-power projects and strategic partnerships. The company's latest contracts and charging innovations signal a clear focus on heavy transport and fast-charging networks. However, grid limitations in key regions may slow down some of its ambitious rollout plans.
