Prague has switched on what is now the largest electric-vehicle charging hub in the Czech capital. The site, on Novovysočanská Street in the Praha 9 district, entered regular operation in early June 2026 after a year-long test phase, and can charge up to 161 vehicles at the same time.
A 161-Point Hub Run by the City Utility
The hub is operated by PRE (Pražská energetika), the energy company in which the City of Prague holds a stake. Of the 161 charging points, 147 are open to the public; the remaining connectors are reserved for the PRE group's own vehicles and operations. Concentrating that many connectors at a single address makes it one of the densest charging locations in Central Europe.
Mostly AC, With Two 400 kW Fast Chargers
Most of the connectors are alternating-current (AC) points built for longer, lower-cost stays — the kind of charging that suits residents, employees and fleet vehicles parked for hours at a time. For drivers in a hurry, the site also carries two public high-power chargers supplied by Alpitronic, each rated at 400 kW.
That mix is deliberate. A site weighted toward AC keeps the per-session cost down and avoids hammering the local grid, while the pair of 400 kW Hyperchargers gives passing EVs a genuine fast-charging option rather than forcing everyone onto slow connectors.
Smart Load Management Keeps the Grid Stable
Running 161 connectors from one location is only feasible because PRE built in active load management. A dedicated control system continuously monitors both the energy draw of the surrounding buildings and every charger on site, then balances the available power across the hub in real time. When demand from nearby buildings rises, the system can trim charging power so the location stays within its grid connection rather than tripping it — a practical answer to the question of how a single site supports so many simultaneous sessions.
What It Means for Tesla Owners in the Czech Republic
Teslas sold in Europe charge over the CCS2 standard, so the hub's two Alpitronic 400 kW units are directly usable: a Model 3 or Model Y can take a fast top-up there without an adapter, while the AC points cover slower overnight or workday charging. For Czech owners, the hub adds a high-capacity option in Prague that complements — rather than replaces — Tesla's own Supercharger network, which remains the go-to for long-distance trips. The value here is local: somewhere to charge reliably in the city without queueing behind a handful of stalls.
Part of a Wider Prague Rollout
The Praha 9 hub is one piece of a larger municipal push. Prague has committed to expanding public charging across the city, with plans to bring more than 1,000 new charging points online by the end of 2026. Hubs of this scale — heavy on AC, topped with a few high-power units, and managed by a smart load-balancing system — point to how European cities intend to add capacity without expensive grid upgrades at every site. For EV drivers in the Czech capital, it is a sign that everyday charging is steadily becoming easier to find.
