The largest JSC Latvenergo brand has been launched in Riga Elektrum An electric car charging station in Latvia created in cooperation with the partner t / c “Spice”. Electromobility support has become an important part of companies’ customer relationships. According to the survey, a large part of the Latvian population is already ready to choose an electric car.
In support of sustainable business and the green lifestyle of customers, the Spice shopping center will continue to charge 7 electric cars at a time. At this port, the solutions are specially adapted so that the charging station can be actively used by both hurried customers who arrive only for a while, and those who plan to charge their car for a longer time and do not rush. It is provided by five 22 kW and two 25 kW connections.
Electromobility is already becoming commonplace today, with citizens increasingly choosing environmentally friendly means of transport and entrepreneurs adapting to people’s lifestyles to implement sustainable solutions and new forms of green business to promote and develop climate-friendly processes and give new impetus to economic development. I appreciate that currently our largest energy resource manager has undertaken to accelerate the development of electric transport in Latvia by creating more and more new electric charging stations. This is an excellent example of cooperation, in which we see a joint project of a state-owned company and a private entrepreneur. This is a step in the right direction, ensuring Latvia’s contribution to achieving the goals of the green course.

Electromobility has quickly become a reality since the trial: leading carmakers have declared plans to abandon internal combustion cars altogether, while many customers already recognize electromobility as their primary choice. Latvenergo AS ‘s forecasts for the development of electric mobility show that we will soon experience a breaking point, the moment when the purchase value of an electric car will be similar to an internal combustion engine car or even cheaper. Latvenergo wants to be ready for it, so we are already building the electric charging infrastructure. This spring, a survey conducted by us revealed that 26% of the surveyed Latvians accept the idea of replacing an internal combustion car with an electric one in the coming years. I’m glad about Spices choice and promise that this project will be a continuation.

Creating a charging station in t / c “Spice” is part of a sustainable business approach – by supporting the lifestyle requirements of its customers, the company develops its modern image and also follows the wishes of tomorrow’s customers. It is the active public aged 18 to 34 who find the idea of an electric car the most attractive.
For more than five years at the mall Spice Home There are two electric car charging stations and, following a sustainable business approach, as well as seeing the growing demand, a logical step closer to creating a green thinking and habit-promoting environment is to provide charging stations for customers in the shopping center as well. Spice. We value customers’ time, so in cooperation with Elektrum both medium-fast and fast charging stations will be established – while the car is being charged, customers can manage to do everything necessary in the shopping center, ”says the shopping center Spice technical director Artis Teibe. “In the future, in cooperation with Elektrum we plan to develop an electric car charging network at the shopping center Spice by creating 4 additional charging points, as well as by renovating the parking lot, we plan to create a micromobility point for bicycles, electric scooters and other environmentally friendly transport.

At this moment Elektrum There are 44 charging ports available to customers in the network, some of which have been installed together with cooperation partners, who are currently joining the Spice shopping center for the convenience of their customers. Continuing the development, by the end of 2021 both in Riga and in the regional centers, opening more than 80 ports, Elektrum will become the largest commercial electric car charging network in Latvia. All Elektrum charging stations charge for the kilowatt hours used (kWh), which is a convenient and accurate way for the customer to estimate the amount of battery charge.
Charged opinion
Each new charging station is a small holiday in Latvia. 5 × 22 kW AC and 2 × 25 kW DC may not seem great, but it’s a pretty logical solution. It is unfortunate that even one AC station does not only have a socket, so parents EV can do AC charging in this place. This means that I personally will not find this location interesting. It is not possible to understand from the pictures, but the application shows that DC stations are also only with the CCS standard. This means that older EVs and those who choose Lexus will not be able to charge there.
44 ports are not bad and 36 more need to be pushed to reach the goal with 80 ports. Not all Distribution Network and Latvenergo locations are yet covered, there is still free and easily accessible space… Prices at Spice (multi-storey car park on the 2nd floor) are currently 0.1936 € / kWh from AC stations and 0.2178 € / kWh from DC stations. It has to be said that a free charging station at Spice Home is still available.
If you want to get your property Etrel Inch Pro charging station used in this location, then safely go to the Charged store, which also has Home a Lite versions. Charged in-store prices are definitely friendlier than those offered by competitors, including Elektrum.
