Given the international trend for environmentally friendly mobility energy, Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) contributes to the effort to strengthen electromobility in Cyprus. The e-Charge service was created by EAC nine years ago with the aim of giving electric vehicle owners access to safe and reliable charging of their vehicles in public areas. This Service currently includes the control and operation of 33 stations, with 62 charging points. We plan to expand the network within 2024 with the installation of more charging stations at strategic points. In practice, the stations will cover the needs of electric vehicles throughout Cyprus. A prerequisite for infrastructure development is the provision of a reliable, safe and cost-effective solution for an integrated experience to electric vehicle users. Through the app, users can view the availability of chargers, start and stop the charger remotely, record charge history and pay by credit/debit card instantly. EAC's e-Charge service offers reliable and fast recharging of an electric car, both to subscribers and non-subscribers of the e-Charge service. A customer/user (with or without a commercial contract with EAC) can pay through the application directly and quickly for the recharging service throughout the e-charge network.
