OKQ8 furthers EV fast charging reach in Sweden

Three new chargers have been deployed at a service station of the company in Nykvarn to boost e-mobility infrastructure across the country.

OKQ8 and Skellefteå Kraft have deployed three new super fast chargers at a service station located in Nykvarn, Sweden.

Equipped with a total of six charging points, both companies continue in their mission to further Swedish charging infrastructure to increase accessibility for electric car drivers throughout the country. The brand aims to establish the country's largest network with 800 charging points spread over 300 OKQ8 stations by 2026.

According to the company, the number of electric cars and plug-in hybrids in Nykvarn municipality is growing rapidly. The firm believes that as more people switch to electric cars, charging must become easier alongside increasing paying options for electricity.

“The area next to the E20 in Nykvarn is strategically important, and therefore central to our prioritized work to quickly increase the availability of super fast chargers throughout Sweden. By offering super fast charging at more and more stations, we contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions from transport - an important part of the transition to a sustainable future," said Agnes Palinski, Communications Manager at OKQ8.

A total of 158 super fast chargers are available at OKQ8 stations across Sweden powered by Skellefteå Kraft. The company produces 100% renewable electricity through its own wind, hydro and bioenergy power stations and is responsible for the installation, maintenance and delivery of the electricity.
