A couple of months ago, we reported that Ethio Telecom launched its newly built ultra-fast EV charging station on both sides of the Bole to Megenagna road in Addis Ababa. Ethio Telecom is a telecoms provider in Ethiopia with over 81 million subscribers, including over 78 million mobile voice subscribers and over 44 million data and internet users. Ethio Telecom has a vision to be the leading digital solutions provider, with its slogan being “Bringing New Possibilities.” The company says introducing the charging network “aligns” with this vision.
- That first charging hub has Eight Ultra-Fast Chargers (up to 600 kW each) — the chargers are capable of fully charging compatible vehicles within 15 minutes, enabling rapid recharges for drivers on the go.
- Twelve Super-Fast Chargers (up to 500 kW each) — delivering high-speed charging with optimal accessibility, and ensuring drivers get back on the road quickly.
- Smart Pole Chargers — integrated into smart city infrastructure, these Level II chargers provide emergency charging options for drivers in need and are located along various routes.
This makes it one of the coolest charging hubs you can find anywhere in the world. This hub has already done some awesome numbers. Since launch, the Bole–Megenagna hub has made a significant environmental impact, helping to prevent an estimated 521,074.23 kg of CO₂ emissions since February 11, 2025 — equivalent to planting approximately 2,622 trees. Ethio Telecom says this achievement was made possible by providing services to 14,280 electric vehicles over the period with a total of 376,574.72kWh of electricity.
