The Ministry of Transportation plans to install 94 new fast-charging stations for electric vehicles—76 for light-duty vehicles and 18 for heavy-duty vehicles— the Ministry of Transportation plans to proceed during the 2026–2028 period, with the total cost estimated at €10 million, according to the Minister of Transport, Communications, and Public Works, Evanthia Tsolaki.
In her response, dated October 7, 2026, to a question from Larnaca MP Prodromos Alambritis, the Minister stated that the plan calls for the creation of 10 charging stations for light electric vehicles and three for heavy-duty vehicles, with the aim of covering the entire road network.

In addition to the three urban hubs of Nicosia, Larnaca, and Limassol, the areas of Alambra, Kofinou, Evrychou, Saittas, Mandria (Paphos), Polis Chrysochous, and Paralimni.
The installation of 16 fast-charging stations for light-duty vehicles is planned for 2026, while in 2027, an additional 48 stations for light vehicles and 12 for heavy vehicles are projected to be installed. The remaining stations are scheduled to be deployed in 2028. According to the Minister, the necessary funding for the infrastructure planned for 2026 and 2027 has been included in the budget of the Department of Electromechanical Services.
The 10 charging stations for light vehicles will have a total of 76 fast-charging points, each with a power output of 150 kW. The three charging stations for heavy-duty vehicles will have 18 charging points, 12 of which will have a power output of 350 kW and six of which will have a power output of 200 kW.
According to data from the Department of Electromechanical Services, 384 publicly accessible charging stations have been installed in Cyprus, spread across 221 stations. Of these, 76 are located in Nicosia, 57 in Limassol, 32 in Paphos, 29 in Larnaca, and 27 in Famagusta.
The Minister also notes that 10 fast-charging stations have already been installed in publicly accessible areas, including parking lots at the general hospitals in Nicosia, Larnaca, Limassol, Kyperounda, and Famagusta, at Troodos Square, at the Choirokoitia archaeological site, at Trimiklini, at the “Tombs of the Kings” in Paphos, and at the bus station in Polis Chrysochous.
These stations were installed as part of the Recovery and Resilience Plan, at a total cost of €840,660, including VAT and a five-year maintenance period.
Additionally, as part of the effort to revitalize the Tillyria area and transform Kato Pyrgos into a “green community,” a 100-kW fast-charging station was installed at the Kato Pyrgos fishing harbor. The station can serve two vehicles simultaneously, with the project cost totaling €77,000, including VAT and five years of maintenance.
The Minister notes that as part of the “Electric Mobility with 1,000” grant program, a total of 212 charging stations were installed in publicly accessible areas, businesses, and local government facilities during the 2022–2026 period.
As it notes, the promotion of electric mobility does not depend exclusively on the development of public charging stations, but also on the installation of private charging stations in homes and businesses, which can also utilize energy from photovoltaic systems.
Finally, he noted that the development of additional infrastructure, depending on market needs and developments, cannot be ruled out.
