Bulgaria among EU countries to receive funds for EV charging stations

The European Commission has approved 70 projects across the EU, worth more than €600 million, to support alternative fuels and reduce vehicle pollution. Bulgaria is participating in two of these projects and will receive funding to install charging stations for passenger and heavy-duty vehicles, according to a report by BTA.

Under one of the projects, Bulgaria and Romania will share €7.86 million to install 88 truck charging stations with a capacity of at least 150 kWh and 87 stations with a capacity of 350 kWh at 25 locations. In a second project, worth €7.38 million, Bulgaria will collaborate with Croatia and Poland to construct over 200 charging stations. Of these, 23 are planned along the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) in Bulgaria.
