📋 Tender Overview
Slovenia is speeding up the transition to clean mobility by announcing public tenders, which together bring 25 million euros in grants for the establishment of publicly accessible charging parks - both along the TEN-T network and outside it.The tenders support uniform geographical coverage of the country, the development of the alternative fuels market, interoperability and digitization of charging stations, and improve the conditions for the development of electromobility in Slovenia.
Slovenia is strengthening the backbone of the publicly available infrastructure for e-mobility.
In 2026, Slovenia entered a key development phase in the field of electromobility, as two public tenders aimed at establishing a new generation of publicly accessible charging parks were published. The tenders address both the critical transport corridors of the pan-European TEN-T network and all other areas in the statistical regions where there is a lack of quality infrastructure for electric vehicles.
Charging parks along the TEN-T: strengthening fast charging on strategic transport links
The first public tender marked JR SPP TEN-T-2026 (opens a new window) is intended to co-finance the establishment of publicly accessible charging parks along the main corridors of the national TEN-T network and in two central urban nodes - Ljubljana and Maribor. The aim of the tender is to support the infrastructure for fast charging of light and heavy electric vehicles, which is key to the long-term development of green freight logistics and improving the user experience when traveling over long distances.
The tender enables the co-financing of high-power infrastructure, as each application must include at least 5 charging points, of which at least one is for heavy vehicles, with a power of 150 kW or more for light vehicles and 350 kW or more for heavy vehicles. Applications can be submitted between April 10 and August 14, 2026, and a total of EUR 10 million in grants from the Climate Fund is available.
Charging parks outside TEN-T: comprehensive coverage of all statistical regions
The second public tender with the designation JRPM IZVEN-TEN-T-2026 (opens a new window) is aimed at establishing a publicly accessible charging infrastructure outside the TEN-T road network. It is intended to fill the gap in smaller towns, regions with less population and areas that do not have access to high-speed roads, but also need a reliable and powerful infrastructure for e-mobility.
The tender supports investments in charging points AC 11-22 kW and DC 50-350 kW, whereby each application must include at least 10 charging points, of which a maximum of 30 percent are DC points. Charging points must be publicly accessible at least 16 hours a day and comply with the strict technical requirements of AFIR and Slovenian regulations. Applications can be submitted between 23 April and 31 July 2026. EUR 15 million is available for co-financing of 100 percent of eligible costs, which is the largest non-TEN-T infrastructure tender of its kind to date.
Both tenders introduce advanced requirements that are consistent with European legislation. Charging points must be smart, interoperable and digitally connected, which includes two-way communication with the network, dynamic data exchange with the NAP portal and reliable identification of users. The focus is on providing a quality user experience, as managers must enable casual charging, transparent prices, easy payment methods and proper maintenance of the infrastructure for at least five years after the completion of the project.
The publication of both tenders represents one of Slovenias biggest strategic steps in the field of electromobility so far. The country is thus holistically addressing the development of fast infrastructure along the main transport corridors as well as the balanced development of charging points in smaller regions. Slovenia is thus entering a new era of comprehensively supported e-mobility, which will provide citizens and the economy with better accessibility, greater security and faster charging - anywhere in the country.
