Lithuania, Latvia & Estonia

Hoping someone from Lithuania can help here. This popped up on Plugshare:

It has not a single piece of useful information, no photo, no address, it even claims the location may not be correct.

It's probably just someone who saw the city name was on the most recent Tesla map update.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has any more information about it.

There are no SCs in LT/LV/EE. Although there are few free CHAdeMO stations in Lithuania

Agreed, but I was wondering if there was any evidence of one being under construction in the location indicated. My guess is not for a while.

Indeed, this is just a placeholder from Tesla site. Unfortunately, even in the updated Tesla SuC map the target opening date of Kaunas SuC is still not confirmed, so NOT 2018 or 2019 but later.
I don't think the location is confirmed either. There was an article in the local newspaper in 2015 about a possible location about 10 km south of the one indicated in Plugshare, with owners being "in advanced stages of talks with Tesla". However, no news since then.

Are you planing a trip to Lithuania? I plan to go from Belgium in July/August 2018.

How and where do I get myself RFID card for activating in Lithuania and Latvia? I have RFID for Poland and Estonia

 

[Dangis]

Public stations on the highways in Lithuania are free, no need for RFID cards.

It only took 3+ years, but the Kaunas supercharger construction has finally started!

Cool! Now I know where to go whenever I take the Texas-to-Lithuania road trip.

I can never 'not' think about Seinfeld where George Costanza converted to Latvian Orthodox just to be able to stay with a girlfriend. Who, by the way, immediately dumped him went back to Latvia.

Kaunas SuC construction progressing rapidly

 

[Dangis]

Kaunas SuC will have both V3 and V2 stalls (like Lucmierz SuC in Poland)

 

[transpondster]

combined with Latvia Superchargers news, Kaunas supercharger location makes more sense, because it's slightly of main "Via Baltica" route, but direct to that Latvian supercharger

Kaunas SuC should construction is complete. Opening soon! (Source: Plugshare)

I've visited Kaunas SuC earlier today. The site is operational and there are 5 stalls total:
- 3x V3 stalls
- 2x V2 stalls.

Foundations for 3 more stalls are there and can be added anytime. The charge session was free - I guess SuC site is in a test mode.

With the recent opening of the first Supercharger in the Baltics (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia) we’re spinning off a separate thread so others will be able to find relevant info quickly.

We know the following about the Supercharger network in the Baltics so far:

The first operational SuC near Kaunas, Lithuania with 5 stalls:

• 3x V3 stalls (250kW)
• 2x V2 stalls (150kW shared between the two)

The supercharger is available through in-car navigation since Sep 19, 2021.

Foundations for 3 more stalls are in place and can be added anytime. PlugShare URL: PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You

It's likely, the second SuC might open in Rezekne, Latvia according to this source: Tesla secures lease for first Latvian Supercharger

Kaunas SuC has been expanded to 8 V3 stalls.
