GreenWay already operates more than 3,000 public charging points across the three countries. The new stations will be placed in densely populated and traffic-heavy areas to boost access and support cross-border EV travel.
Why now? Central Europe has significantly less EV charging infrastructure than other parts of the EU, according to the EBRD. Battery electric vehicle registrations surged 51% in March 2026 across 15 key European markets, while renewed conflict in the Middle East has sharpened focus on the continent's oil dependence.
The EBRD loan also benefits from a first-loss guarantee under the EU's InvestEU programme — a signal that Brussels sees Central European charging gaps as a strategic priority.
What could go wrong? Deploying 2,700 chargers across three countries by 2028 is an ambitious timeline. Grid capacity, permitting delays, and construction bottlenecks could slow rollout. And while EV sales are climbing, adoption in Central Europe still lags Western markets — meaning utilisation rates may take time to catch up with supply.
The signal: GreenWay is still classified as an early-growth company, yet it has assembled a diverse cap table spanning a government-backed development bank, sustainable investment funds like Mirova, and CEE-focused clean-tech backers — a financing mix that mirrors the blended public-private model increasingly required to de-risk infrastructure plays in underserved markets. With Janom Investments already participating in a €50 million-plus round just last year, the rapid follow-on suggests investor confidence that Central European charging demand is approaching a tipping point.
