Tallinn/Luxembourg, 20 January 2026
Eleport, an independent EV fast-charging network operating across Central and Eastern Europe, has secured a €35 million loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB), backed by the InvestEU programme. The financing will support the rollout of Eleport’s convenient, multi-plug fast-charging hubs across the region, making EV charging something drivers barely have to think about.
The EIB loan will support the deployment of more than 250 new fast-charging hubs in major shopping and commercial destinations across Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Croatia. Each hub will feature up to 12 charging plugs, with charging power of up to 400 kilowatts (kW) per plug, allowing drivers to charge quickly while they go about their everyday plans.
With over 400 fast charging points (DCs) in six countries – Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, and Croatia, Eleport is building the “Electric Amber Road” – a modern fast-charging network inspired by the historic Amber Road that once connected the Baltics with the Adriatic through Central Europe, now reimagined for electric mobility. The network is designed to let EV drivers travel comfortably across borders using one app and one reliable charging experience.
“At Eleport, we design the experience around how people really use public charging: stop where you already need to be, plug in, and move on with your day. That’s why it takes about 30 seconds — just the time to connect the cable. By building multi-plug fast-charging hubs at everyday destinations like shopping centres and retail parks, we make charging something that happens in the background, without extra waiting or an extra stop. This €35 million EIB loan is an important step in expanding reliable, high-quality infrastructure across Central and Eastern Europe.” – said Jakub Miler, Eleport CEO.
“Scaling up fast‑charging infrastructure is essential to accelerate the shift to electric mobility and reduce emissions from road transport,” – said EIB Vice-President Karl Nehammer. “This operation demonstrates how we can provide innovative, long‑term financing to fast‑growing companies delivering high‑impact sustainable infrastructure.”
The European Investment Bank loan agreement is backed by the InvestEU programme, which aims to trigger more than €372 billion in additional investment between 2021 and 2027. The InvestEU programme mobilises investment for EU policy priorities like the green transition, competitiveness, innovation, and sustainable infrastructure.

The InvestEU Fund is implemented through financial partners that will invest in projects using the EU budget guarantee of €26.2 billion.
