The new charging station construction project will enable the implementation of charging points in a wider area in Helsinki, making the daily use of electric cars in the Helsinki area easier.
“The charging options range from basic to high-power charging, allowing electric motorists to choose the charging point according to their need and diversifying the availability of charging points for taxi services and the like,” says Jesse Suosalmi, Product Group Manager for public charging network at Helen.

Electrification of traffic is essential for Helsinki’s emission reduction goals
Low-emission traffic is an important goal for Helsinki, where traffic is responsible for about one-fifth of the carbon dioxide emissions. Increasing public charging opportunities contributes to the achievement of this goal.
Electrification of traffic is essential in achieving the 2030 carbon neutrality target set in the Helsinki City Strategy 2021–2025. Several Helsinki programmes promote the electrification of the vehicle fleet, including the Carbon Neutral Helsinki Action Plan, the Air Quality Plan of the City of Helsinki, Helsinki’s Parking Policy 2022 and the City of Helsinki Noise Abatement Action Plan.
