Volkswagen to launch network of ultra-fast charging points


The first E.ON Drive Booster charging points will be tested in German motorway filling stations in the second half of 2020. — AFP Relaxnews

Volkswagen is teaming up with E.ON to create a new network of ultra-fast charging points for electric vehicles which will provide enough power for a range of 200 kilometers in just 15 minutes.

The goal of the new project is to create a dense infrastructure of rapid charging points, initially in Germany and then throughout Europe. Volkswagen and E.ON point out that the new charging points, which are equipped with an innovative battery system, can be powered via the standard power grid. As such, they will essentially be plug & play, allowing for quick deployment in public spaces, filling stations and motorway rest areas.
