Orlen Seeks to Quick Charge Europe’s Fastest-Growing EV Market

Orlen SA, known across eastern Europe for its vast network of red-and-white petrol stations, is accelerating expansion into charging points for electric vehicles as its home market in Poland becomes the continent’s latest hot spot for EVs.

The region’s biggest oil refiner just opened its first EV hub in Poland with eight hyper-fast Kempower Oyj’s charging points. Orlen will add more than 10 such installations this year and another 50 over the next two years, Krzysztof Kaczynski, the firm’s electromobility executive director, told Bloomberg News.
