Public electric truck charging provider Milence has opened its first location in Denmark, further expanding its truck charging footprint across the continent as a growing number of truck operators make the switch to electric HGVs. Its opening means Milence now operates 37 charging hubs, across nine European countries.
The site sits in Padborg, strategically positioned near Denmark’s border with Germany on a corridor that already carries heavy logistics traffic between Central Europe and the Nordics. It also forms part of the Trans-European Transport Network, reinforcing its role as a key freight route.
The initial phase comprises four charging bays, each delivering speeds of up to 400kW. Milence describes this as a first phase, with additional driver amenities and infrastructure upgrades planned. Notably absent for now are 1,000kW+ megawatt chargers, a technology already deployed at some of Milence’s sites in the Netherlands and Belgium – though the company hasn’t ruled these out for future phases.
Milence’s Padborg opening marks another step in the continued expansion of dedicated electric truck charging infrastructure across Europe. Further expansion of the Milence network is planned, reinforced last month with a €120 million financing facility secured by the firm. With that extra. Milence hopes to have 90 sites operational by 2028, more than doubling its present footprint.
Anja van Niersen, CEO of Milence, commented:
“The opening of our first charging hub in Denmark marks another important milestone in building a connected European charging network for electric road transport. Padborg is a strategic location at the crossroads of major European freight routes, making it a natural addition to our growing network. With this hub, we are strengthening long-haul electric transport along the Scandinavian–Mediterranean TEN-T corridor.”
