E.ON is putting six fast-charging stations, each with two charging points, into operation in Papenburg, Lower Saxony, as part of the Deutschlandnetz network. Twelve electric vehicles can be charged there with a minimum of 200 kW and up to 400 kW of charging power. This means that modern electric cars can be ready for the next leg of their journey within around 20 minutes.
The National Centre for Charging Infrastructure has published a new course entitled ‘Das GEIG und die EPBD’ (The GEIG and the EPBD) on the e-learning platform LadeLernTOOL. It provides legal guidance and practical assistance on dealing with charging infrastructure in connection with future-proof, energy-efficient building design.
Helpful new features are now available in the National Charging Infrastructure Management Center’s FlächenTOOL, making it even more effective for finding and offering suitable sites for charging infrastructure development.
Municipalities and other public sector actors can now link their plots directly to a public tender in the FlächenTOOL (plot tool) of the National Centre for Charging Infrastructure. Each plot is automatically allocated to the corresponding tender via a link to the tendering platform.
The National Centre for Charging Infrastructure has comprehensively updated its key publications. From now on, the calculation method for the installed charging capacity will be adapted in the analyses of existing inventory as well as in the demand assessment. That means that the Centre’s inventory and analysis data are now fully consistent with the AFIR target.
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.
