Allego brings the 200th German network location into operation

Deutschlandnetz has once again reached a decisive milestone: Allego recently put the 200th Deutschlandnetz charging park into operation in Gütersloh (NRW).

The anniversary site is located at Wiedenbrücker Straße 12 in Gütersloh. A so-called M-site with four fast-charging columns and a total of eight charging points was put into operation there. The charging park is located next to a petrol station to the south-west of Gütersloh city center. The charging points are covered and the adjacent petrol station provides access to sanitary facilities, a store and a car wash. The high charging capacity of up to 400 kW enables short charging times and makes the location attractive for both local traffic and those passing through.

Patrick Schnieder, Federal Minister of Transport200 charging parks opened in Germany not only mean additional charging infrastructure, they are also part of a new everyday mobility experience. Our goal is clear: fast charging anytime and anywhere. With the Deutschlandnetz, we are creating a nationwide fast-charging infrastructure in the city, in the countryside and on the highway. We are building trust in electromobility among users and vigorously promoting climate protection in the transport sector.„

Martin Heine, Account & Partnerships Lead: „The cooperation with our site partner in Gütersloh was excellent in every respect. Equally positive is the constructive and solution-oriented cooperation with the local network operator and the entire project team, which contributed significantly to the success of the project.“

At the same time, Allego opened another Deutschlandnetz site in Eschweiler, North Rhine-Westphalia (Indestraße 4). The charging park there is designed as an L-location and has six fast-charging columns with twelve charging points, at which electric vehicles can be charged in parallel, as well as a drive-through solution. The charging park in Eschweiler is centrally located in the city, in the immediate vicinity of restaurants and a shopping center. With the two new locations, Allego is making an important contribution to the implementation of the German network and, in particular, strengthening the nationwide fast-charging infrastructure in North Rhine-Westphalia.

With the German network, the Federal Ministry of Transport (BMV) is creating 9,000 additional fast charging points for electric cars at more than 1,000 locations. The aim of the German network is to enable fast and reliable charging wherever people are on the move - in cities as well as in rural and suburban regions and along freeways.

Dagmar Fehler, CEO and spokesperson of NOW GmbH„This anniversary is a strong signal for the ramp-up of electromobility in Germany. It shows how planning turns into concrete charging points - visible, usable and reliable for local people. Together, the BMV, the eleven operating companies and the National Charging Infrastructure Control Center are creating a network of ultra-fast charging options that will strengthen electric mobility in everyday life and the regional economy, in Gütersloh and throughout Germany.“

The National Charging Infrastructure Control Center supports the implementation of the German network on behalf of the BMV and under the umbrella of NOW GmbH and is responsible in particular for demand planning, checking technical requirements and data monitoring of the locations.
