CAA expands EV charging network by 40% to 558 points, revives former GoTo infrastructure
The Climate Action Authority added 150 charging points, including 100 from the former GoTo network, bringing total to 558.
Malta's public electric vehicle charging network has expanded to 558 points, a 40% increase driven by the addition of 150 charging points over the past few months.
The Climate Action Authority (CAA) now oversees the network after taking over infrastructure that had gone idle following GoTo's withdrawal from the country.
CAA CEO Abigail Cutajar said the authority inherited a network that belonged to a private company and had gone idle. A lot of technical and logistical work was needed to bring it back into service, and that work began the moment responsibility passed to the CAA.
Of the 150 new points, 100 were part of the former GoTo infrastructure and have been brought back into service. The CAA installed another 50 brand-new charging points across 33 localities in Malta and Gozo.
Cutajar said the expansion responds to growing demand from electric vehicle drivers as more people make the switch to electric mobility.
"It's our job to make sure the charging network keeps pace with that shift," she said. "This is only the first step; we have more in the pipeline to keep growing this network."
For Malta's business community, the expansion signals a maturing EV market and creates opportunities for energy suppliers, charging operators, and maintenance services. The revival of idle private infrastructure also demonstrates how public intervention can stabilise essential networks after private exits.
