03 Jan 2019|967 views
Opel's hometown of Russelsheim am Main will become 'Electric City'. Russelsheim, Opel and the RheinMain University are driving the extension of the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. The ambitious project, for which the partners have received the official grants totalling around $19.9 million, will be realised in multiple steps by 2020.
The installation of around 1,300 charging stations across the city will commence in the upcoming months. These will then be located in all districts and residential areas, on the Opel premises, on the campus of RheinMain University, in residential estates, as well as parking areas of selected supermarkets and shopping centres.
Going forward, each publicly accessible charging point will service 72 inhabitants, thus creating the highest density of charging stations in relation to the number of inhabitants not only in Germany, but in all of the European Union.
