At Zoniq, we enjoy working with companies that move fast and aren't afraid to challenge the status quo. That’s why we’re excited to officially share our work with Volta, a Prague-based team building out high-speed destination charging across Central and Eastern Europe. Volta focuses on high-traffic retail spots, such as supermarkets and malls, throughout Czechia, Slovakia, and Poland, with new expansions into Serbia and Montenegro. Their goal is ambitious: 1,000 charging stations by 2030.

Welcome to the first issue of The Zoniq Brief, a regular digest of insights, case studies, and perspectives from the teams designing, financing, and operating EV charging networks.As the market matures, success is shifting from rapid deployment to resilient decision-making. This edition explores exactly that. Enjoy.

Participating in a substantial tender like the Mousquetaires project requires more than just operational excellence. Eranovum Energy secured an assignment of over 600 locations for this massive tender across France, with 70 sites planned specifically for the 2025 deployment phase. To scale their network with speed, securing robust bank funding was critical.

Landing a partnership with a household name like Burger King is often viewed as the ultimate win. On paper, it is the dream: high visibility, self-standing sites, and a captive audience with a predictable 20-minute dwell time. However, a brand name is not a business case. If you are building your network based on brand prestige rather than granular stress-testing, you are not architecting a network, but betting on your gut feeling.

We are thrilled to announce that Equans E-Mobility has chosen Zoniq to lead their expansion logic.

GreenWay was evaluating participation in a large public tender issued by Slovakia’s National Motorway Company. The tender covered 35 motorway rest areas split across three packages. On paper, the locations were strong. In practice, the requirements were heavy.
