Gorenjska Electro Trip: Network of charging stations for electric cars, bikes and scooters

With the project Gorenjska Electro-Trip, the first connected route for electric vehicles is established. Visiting natural attractions and rural tourist destinations in Gorenjska region is now possible in an environmentally friendly way. Within the project, 5 charging stations are placed on the rout which links the natural and cultural attractions of Gorenjska region. Charging stations are intended to supply electric vehicles and they represent one of the incentives for “local green mobility”. On the route for travelling with the electric vehicles is located 5 charging stations: Jezersko, Preddvor, Bled, Bohinj and Kranjska Gora. Network of charging stations allows visiting all region of Gorenjska and allows connection to Italy (via Rateče) and Austria (via Gorenjska). Each of the charging stations has one triple-phase plug (3x16A) for larger vehicles and two one-phase plugs (16A) for smaller vehicles. Charging stations enable charging also for electric bikes and electric scooters. Within the project a promotional event was organized in which electric cars drove along ‘’Gorenjska electric route”, stopping at each of 5 new stations, so that local people could learn more about electric vehicles and functioning of charging stations. That was very attractive for medias, as this was the first real demonstration how electric mobility functions in practice. In that moment Gorenjska region was leading region in Slovenia by the number of charging stations.
