To proactively solve the issue of having a shortage of EV charge points, various entrepreneurs in the Dutch Twente regions joined forces. This resulted in the STEK project, short for (in English) STimulating EleCtric transportation, an initiative started by the Green Business Club Twente.

Within the framework of the STEK project, it has been decided that over the coming years, 500 additional public charge points will be installed, all of them equipped with smart technology. The charge point network is created by the Green Business Club Twente, in a cooperation with the Industrial Association Twente and suppliers Alfen-ICU, Fudure and Greenflux.
