ČEZ to expand charging network to over 1,000 stations by year-end

ČEZ, the Czech energy company, is set to expand its public electric vehicle charging network to over 1,000 stations by the end of 2025. The company currently operates 900 charging stands, with the latest installation—a 360 kW ultra-fast charger—now active at a new hub located at the Invelt BMW site in Prague’s Stodůlky district. The site includes nine additional chargers, creating a comprehensive charging facility for electric vehicle users.

According to Pavel Cyrani, Vice-Chairman of the ČEZ Board of Directors, the company is installing charging infrastructure at a pace of nearly 200 stations per year. Current efforts are focused on building larger hubs that offer multiple ultra-fast charging options. ČEZ plans to operate 40 such hubs—each with at least three ultra-fast chargers—by the end of the year.

So far in 2025, 60 new charging stands have been brought online, with a total of 180 expected to be operational before year’s end. Once completed, this will bring the total number of ČEZ-branded charging stations across the Czech Republic to over 1,000.

Ultra-fast chargers—defined as those delivering more than 150 kW of power—make up approximately 15% of the ČEZ network, while around 85% of the stations are capable of delivering at least 50 kW.

Tomáš Chmelík, who oversees the implementation and operation of ČEZ charging infrastructure, stated that electric vehicle drivers are expected to draw more than 12 million kilowatt-hours of certified green electricity from ČEZ stations this year. The average amount of electricity consumed per charging session has also risen by over 10% year-on-year, now reaching 23 kWh per session.
