Reitan Convenience, Eldrive open Lithuania’s first EV charging hub

The modern facility includes ultra-fast charging stations, a stylish café with a drive-in and a Narvesen c-store.

Lithuania has marked a milestone in sustainable travel with the launch of its first charging hub through a partnership between Eldrive and Reitan Convenience. Located on the Panevėžys bypass, this modern facility connects Vilnius and Riga.

The park is the first of its kind in the Baltic region. Designed to accommodate up to 20 vehicles simultaneously, it boasts ten ultra-fast charging stations with capacities of 200 kW and 400 kW, enabling quick and efficient charging for EV users.

The site also features a Caffeine LT café and a Narvesen convenience with a wide range of options. Travelers can enjoy designated work and relaxing areas as well as a children’s playground. For those in a rush, the Caffeine Drive-In provides coffee and food-to-go options.

“This location is strategically placed on the most traveled highways and roads in Lithuania. Today’s EV park connects the capitals of the Baltic states, Vilnius and Riga,” said Saulius Žilėnas, CEO of Reitan Convenience Lithuania.

He also revealed plans to establish additional parks across the country to support the growing demand for EV infrastructure.

“Today, as Lithuania takes its place in this movement with its first charging hub, we see how these global trends inspire local innovation, paving the way for a more sustainable future meeting customer needs,” said Mariette Kristenson, CEO of Reitan Convenience AS.

Eldrive has also announced plans to further expand its network. By mid-2025, they will open a new charging park of a similar size along the Vilnius–Klaipėda motorway.
