German-American exchange on sustainable mobility

Deputy Secretary of Transportation of the United States of America, Polly Trottenberg, visited NOW GmbH in Berlin today. She primarily informed herself about the federal government’s approach to expanding charging infrastructure, particularly with regard to the work carried out in the National Centre for Charging Infrastructure. Discussion points included the ‘Germany network’ (Deutschlandnetz), the fast-charging network for cars, as well as the planned initial charging network for e-trucks and the significance of trucks with fuel cell drives.

For the transition to electric mobility to succeed, a comprehensive, needs-based and user-friendly charging infrastructure is required.

By providing these areas, they support the expansion of the charging infrastructure in Germany and help electric mobility as a whole to succeed.
