OSLO, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Finnish utility Fortum will expand Hungary’s electric car charging network in partnership with local NKM National Utilities, the company said in a press release on Monday.

The network expansion will consist of 100 charging stations, which will be installed across Hungary during 2018.

At the moment, Hungary’s only charging stations are in its capital Budapest and on the motorway connecting the city to Austrian capital Vienna, servicing the country’s current fleet of about 1,000 electric cars, Fortum said. (Reporting by Lefteris Karagiannopoulos, editing by Terje Solsvik)
