What is the Publicly accessible electric vehicle charging infrastructure installation and expansion in specified sections along TEN-T network roads of state importance Call?
Grant Description
Support installation and expansion of publicly accessible electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the 20–40 km section of the A14 Vilnius–Utena road (capital region) near TEN-T network roads of state importance. Addresses the need to promote alternative fuel use in transport, reduce emissions, and increase charging availability. Expected outputs include new charging stations meeting defined power specifications.
Required Results for Successful Funding
Expected Outcomes
By funding these projects, the programme expects to achieve:
• Deployment of new, publicly accessible EV charging infrastructure in the A14 Vilnius–Utena km 20–40 corridor—at least one charging park per side, delivering a combined capacity ≥300 kW and featuring at least one ≥150 kW port per park.
• Improved network coverage and user experience: 24/7 access, ad hoc payment options, interoperable connectors (Type 2, Combo 2), real-time data dissemination, and universal-design compliance to serve all user groups.
• Acceleration of EV uptake and reduction of transport emissions by filling charging infrastructure gaps along a key TEN-T segment.
• Contribution to national and EU objectives under the 2021–2027 ESIF programme and the “Green Lithuanian Transformation” component; support for the AFID and Paris Agreement goals.
• Establishment of a scalable model for continuous expansion of alternative-fuel infrastructure with guaranteed operation, maintenance and data transparency standards.
