Milence expands its network to Milencewith the development of an electric charging hub in Varberg

The charging hub is strategically located in the municipality of Varberg, between Gothenburg and Malmö in the south-west of Sweden. The city itself is a popular stop off point for haulers and heavy-duty vehicle drivers, and the charging hub holds a strategic position near exit 55 along the E6 motorway. The hub in Varberg - as well as all other Milence charging hubs – will be open to all trucks regardless of brand.

A two phase development in Varberg
The company is developing its network, focusing on creating green corridors for road transport that connect key logistical points. The development of the charging hub in Varberg marks the first step of electrifying transport routes in the Nordics. In addition, Milence wants to create a holistic charging experience with their charging hubs by providing a space where drivers can rest and recharge. The site in Varberg will include several facilities including a lounge as well as showers and toilets, also accessible for people with disabilities, for an optimal customer experience.

The development of the charging hub in Varberg will be carried out in two phases:

Anja van Niersen, CEO of Milence, expressed her enthusiasm about the first hub in Sweden: "Recently, we announced multiple sites in Western Europe, and I am delighted we can now announce the development of our first site in the Nordics. The new charging hub in Varberg is strategically located in a key logistics area in the south-west of Sweden, between Gothenburg and Malmö. Through our future roadmap, our initiative to create high-performance green corridors across Europe is gaining momentum. We have more plans to expand our network with several key sites this upcoming year, some of which are already under contract and in development, and all of which are located along key strategic areas and open to all trucks."
