Norway: Ionity halts Ekoenergetyka pilot – and installs Huawei chargers for first time

At the end of 2025, Ionity opened its first charging park in Elverum, Norway - which features the so-called Shared Power technology by Ekoenergetyka. However, the pilot failed. Since then, Ionity has removed the charging stations and replaced them with new ones from Huawei. It marks the first time that Ionity will work with Huawei.

Less than a year ago, Ionity inaugurated a new charging park in Elverum, where electric vehicles could charge at up to 500 kW. The hardware for this site was supplied by Ekoenergetyka. It was the first location in Ionity’s Europe-wide network to feature the Polish manufacturer’s shared-power technology – or so it seemed.

Due to repeated malfunctions, Ionity has now halted the pilot, removed the hardware, and replaced it with charging stations from Huawei. A company spokesperson confirmed this to electrive. The issue was first reported by charging infrastructure expert Syed Haseeb Hassan in his own analysis.

Ionity’s decision to switch to Huawei charging hardware at the site is not entirely unexpected. At Power2Drive in Munich this summer, both companies publicly announced their collaboration. In Elverum, this partnership is now materialising after the failed trial with Ekoenergetyka’s new technology.

On-site, there are now three charging stations with six charging points, paired with an adjacent power unit. According to Ionity’s website, the available charging power includes 4x up to 600 kW and 2x up to 500 kW. Additionally, under the Ionity brand, there remains an Alpitronic charging station with two 400-kW charging points at the location.
