Malta’s public electric vehicle charging network has grown to 558 charging points, following the addition of 150 new points by the Climate Action Authority. Nearly 40% increase was achieved in just a few months.

Of the 150 new points, 100 were part of the former GoTo charging infrastructure, which had fallen out of use after the company ceased operations. Responsibility for this network was transferred to the Climate Action Authority in recent months, and the authority moved immediately to bring these charging points back into service. A further 50 entirely new charging points were installed alongside this work. The new points are spread across 33 localities across all regions and on both islands.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Climate Action Authority, Ing. Abigail Cutajar, said the increase directly addresses a need felt by EV drivers across the country.

“This is the first concrete result after taking on this infrastructure just a few months ago. What we inherited was a network that belonged to a private company and that had gone idle. A lot of technical and logistical work was needed to bring it back into service, and we began that work the moment responsibility passed on to us. More people are choosing electric vehicles, helped by government incentives, and it’s our job to make sure the charging network keeps pace with that shift. This is only the first step, we have more in the pipeline to keep growing this network.”

Drivers can locate available charging points via the ‘ChargeMyRide’ mobile application.
