OMV Petrom, the largest energy company in South-Eastern Europe and Enel X Romania will install, in the coming months, in the fuel distribution stations of the OMV and Petrom networks, 10 fast charging stations for electric cars.

The fast charging stations will be installed in fuel stations in the OMV and Petrom network, covering a distance of approximately 380 kilometers on the main roads in Romania, connecting cities in the east, center and west of the country. In this way, OMV Petrom and Enel X continue their plans for the development of the network of recharging points in Romania, encouraging the road mobility of customers through electric vehicles.

All charging stations for electric cars installed in the partnership will have an available power of at least 50 kW, and a charging cycle for 80% of a car’s battery capacity will be able to be completed in about 25 minutes.

“We believe that the answer to the mobility needs of our customers is a mix that includes fuels and alternative solutions. Through this partnership, we contribute to the development of the national charging infrastructure to support the transit of electric cars in Romania. We estimate that, by the end of 2021, more than 40 charging stations for electric cars will be installed in our regional network,” said Radu Căprău, member of the OMV Petrom Management Board, responsible for the Downstream Oil activity.

“Through our electric mobility programs, we aim to facilitate electric transport anywhere in the country, in a sustainable way. That is why we are happy to offer electric vehicle users in Romania, through this partnership, more flexibility for their mobility needs, while contributing to the development of charging infrastructure at the country level,” said Marius Chiriac, Head of Enel X Romania.

OMV Petrom is present on the fuel distribution market in Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria and Serbia, operating a network of 802 filling stations under the OMV and Petrom brands.
