ECOFACTOR Expands Its Own Charging Network in Poland

ECOFACTOR is taking the next step in its development in the European market. The company already operates as a charging equipment manufacturer and software developer, and is now entering Poland directly as a charging network operator.

The plans include more than 300 charging locations in different cities across the country. These will include urban AC stations, fast DC chargers, and, in the future, energy hubs with energy storage systems.

For drivers, this means more than just the appearance of new charging points. ECOFACTOR is developing the entire system around charging – from equipment and the software platform to the mobile app, which allows users to find a station, check its availability, start charging, and monitor the session.

ECOFACTOR enters Poland as a charging network operator

ECOFACTOR has been working in the electric mobility sector since 2015. During this time, the company has evolved from developing and manufacturing charging stations into a complete ecosystem for drivers and charging infrastructure operators.

Today, the ECOFACTOR platform connects around 5,000 charging ports and about 800 operators from different countries. The company has experience working as a CPO, or Charge Point Operator, and is now bringing this model to the Polish market.

This is an important step. ECOFACTOR is not simply selling equipment to Polish partners. The company is developing the network itself, managing its operation, and interacting with drivers through its own digital services.

For businesses, ECOFACTOR also offers a charging infrastructure management platform that allows operators to control stations, charging sessions, tariffs, and other operational processes.

More than 300 charging locations in Poland

The Polish network will be developed in stages.

The first stage involves installing around 200 AC stations. These chargers are expected to appear primarily in places where people leave their cars for longer periods – near residential buildings, city parking areas, shopping centers, and other everyday locations.

The next stage includes more than 100 DC stations. They are needed in places where drivers need to charge their vehicles more quickly – on intercity routes, near transport hubs, and in locations used by commercial vehicles.

The cities where network development is planned include Lublin, Lodz, Szczecin, Ruda Slaska, and Bytom.

Total investment in the Polish project exceeds EUR 20 million.

More than just charging stations

ECOFACTOR is building the Polish network not as a collection of separate chargers. The company combines equipment, software, operator management, and driver services within a single system.

This is one of the main features of ECOFACTOR’s approach.

The company manufactures its own charging equipment, manages the platform, and develops the mobile app. This makes it possible to view the entire system as a whole – from the operation of a specific charging port to what the driver sees on their phone.

In-house manufacturing in Ukraine and Poland

Another advantage of ECOFACTOR is its own charging equipment manufacturing.

The company has production facilities in Ukraine and Poland. This allows it to control equipment development, assembly, testing, and ongoing support.

The product range includes both AC and DC solutions with different power levels. The stations can be used near residential buildings, hotels, restaurants, business centers, shopping centers, vehicle fleets, logistics facilities, and along high-speed routes.

For large projects, the team can select equipment and a software solution for a specific location. ECOFACTOR can be contacted through the contacts page.

The next step – energy hubs

Some Polish locations are planned to be developed into energy hubs in the future.

These are complexes where charging stations can operate together with solar generation and energy storage systems. This approach helps manage the load on the power grid more effectively and improve the stability of the charging infrastructure.

This is not a new area for ECOFACTOR. The company already works with solar energy, battery systems, and energy independence solutions. More information about this area is available on the ECOFACTOR Energy page.

What drivers get

For most drivers, a charging network starts with a smartphone. They want to quickly find the right station, see whether it is available, understand how much charging will cost, and know what is happening with the vehicle during the session.

This is exactly why ECOFACTOR is developing its own ECOFACTOR mobile app, available on iOS and Android.

It brings together the main actions drivers need before, during, and after charging.

Finding a charging station

The app includes a map of the charging infrastructure. Drivers can use it to find the station they need and check available charging ports.

This is especially convenient while traveling. Rather than driving to the nearest point without knowing whether it is available, drivers can check it on their smartphone first.

Drivers can use ECOFACTOR public charging stations through the company’s unified charging ecosystem.

Filters for a specific electric vehicle

Not every charging station is suitable for every vehicle.

The app allows users to filter locations by charging type, connector, and power. This helps drivers immediately see the options that are suitable for their specific electric vehicle.

Different AC and DC connectors are supported, including Type 2, CCS2, and CHAdeMO.

Port reservation

Another useful feature is the ability to reserve a charging port before arrival.

A port can be reserved for a short period so that it remains available for the driver. This is convenient when it still takes a few minutes to reach the station and the driver does not want to arrive only to find that the charger is already occupied.

Charging can be scheduled in advance

The app also allows users to schedule charging for a specific time.

The driver selects a day and time slot and can see the estimated cost in advance. This is convenient if charging is part of a regular routine – for example, on the way to work or near home.

Simple charging start

After arriving at the station, there is no need to go through a complicated process.

One way to start a session is to scan the QR code on the charging station using the app. The driver can then select the required port and start charging.

Real-time session monitoring

During charging, there is no need to remain next to the vehicle all the time.

The app displays the main session parameters in real time:

• charge level
• amount of energy delivered
• current power
• session cost
• charging curve

This allows drivers to check the vehicle from their smartphone and understand when charging is close to completion.

Favorite stations

If you use a particular charging station frequently, you can add it to your favorites.

For example, it could be a station near your home, office, or along a route you travel every day. This means you do not have to search for it again each time.

The app also displays new locations and network updates, which is particularly useful when the network is expanding actively.

ECOFACTOR for business

The Polish network is relevant not only to drivers. Charging infrastructure is becoming increasingly important for businesses.

These can include:

• hotels and restaurants
• shopping centers
• office complexes
• residential complexes
• vehicle fleets
• logistics companies
• car dealerships
• parking facilities
• gas stations

For such projects, ECOFACTOR offers not only charging stations but also a software platform.

Through ECOFACTOR for Business, an operator can control equipment, view its status, and manage tariffs, users, and charging sessions.

This is particularly important for networks with dozens or hundreds of charging points, where managing each station separately is no longer convenient.

Why entering Poland matters for ECOFACTOR

The Polish project shows how ECOFACTOR’s role in the European market is changing.

The company has long operated as more than an equipment manufacturer. It develops software, supports operators, has its own charging network, and works directly with drivers.

Now this model is being scaled in Poland.

More than 300 new locations will allow the company to work with Polish drivers not only through partner projects, but through its own operator infrastructure.

For the user, everything should remain as simple as possible: find a charger, arrive, connect the vehicle, start the session in the app, and continue with the rest of the day.

Conclusion

ECOFACTOR’s entry into the Polish market as an operator is about more than installing a few hundred additional charging stations. The company is bringing to Poland a model it already develops in other markets: its own equipment, software platform, operator management, and mobile service for drivers all work together.

During the first stage, around 200 AC stations are expected to appear in Poland, followed by more than 100 fast DC chargers. In the future, some locations will be developed as energy hubs with energy storage systems.

For drivers, the main benefit is simpler: all interaction with charging is brought together in one place. A station can be found on the map, filtered according to the vehicle’s parameters, a port can be reserved, a session can be started, and charging can be monitored from a smartphone.
