OMV’s new fast chargers are now available at 15 locations across the country. The company will double the number of its ultra-fast charging stations this year, and by the end of 2025, a total of 80 fast charging points will be operating in nearly 50 locations across the country. The chargers are capable of delivering at least 100 kW of power, which can later reach up to 200 kW in several locations, depending on network capacity. OMV has also developed its own app for the chargers, which now offers special promotions for motorists.

The construction of OMV’s ultra-fast charging network in Hungary is progressing at a pace consistent with its e-mobility market plans. The company’s top chargers are currently available at 15 locations across the country, but the company is currently working on the construction of 12 additional charging points, which are expected to be completed by the end of the year. All of the available ultrachargers can already be used with a capacity of at least 100 kW, and in several locations, electric car owners will be able to charge with up to 200 kW by the end of 2024. OMV will complete the delivery of a total of nearly 50 ultrafast charging points by the end of 2025, so that fast charging will be available to anyone within about 100 kilometers along the main routes.

OMV also places great emphasis on placing the charging points in places where waiting time can be spent usefully. That is why the company installs the majority of the charging points next to Spar Express, InterSpar stores or VIVA café units.

“With the introduction of the OMV eMotion service, our goal is to become a dominant player in the Hungarian e-mobility market, thereby contributing to the development of sustainable transport,” said Ján Hrivnák, CEO of OMV Hungária Kft. Managing Director and Head of Retail Business. “Electric driving cannot mean compromise, which is why we only install charging points that provide lightning-fast energy consumption. This way, drivers who choose OMV charging points can recharge their car batteries to 80% in just 20-30 minutes,”

added Ján Hrivnák.
