You can charge your car at JSW

Owners of electric cars can charge their cars for free at the headquarters of Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa.

A fast-charging station was installed in front of the Company's premises. First person has already benefited from the charger. – “It's very convenient, I connect the car to the charging station and go to business talks. On my return, I take the plug out and go back to my car”says Jarosław Jarzyna, one of the Silesian businessmen who came to Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa on business.

Up till now, five charging stations have been operating in the Silesian agglomeration. They are located in: Galeria Katowicka, Orlen 3 Stawy fuel station (Murckowska Street) in Katowice, Pyrzowice Airport, and Ikea Katowice, near the Nissan salon in Sosnowiec. Now another station has arrived at the headquarters of Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa in Jastrzębie-Zdrój at al. John Paul II, 4. All chargers are available for free.

- Around the world, also in Poland, there is a growing interest in electric vehicles. The new JSW charging station is yet another step towards the popularization of electric vehicles and a focus on the environmentally friendly transport - said Daniel Ozon, Acting President of the Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa.

In June, the company purchased two electric cars, which workers use to move between mines and offices. Cars are cheap to maintain. The journey costs several times less than a traditional car with an internal combustion engine - about 9 zł per 100 km. JSW is the first mining company to engage in eco-friendly transport.
