Sixth Porsche Charging Lounge opens near Stuttgart

A new rest stop for both human and machine to take a breather and recharge has launched, as the sixth brand-exclusive Porsche Charging Lounge opens its doors - or in this case, bays - not far from the Leonberg junction that connects the A8 and A81 autobahns.

The Leonberg fast-charging station - located near Stuttgart - is the sixth such exclusive location, joining four other charging lounges in Germany and one in Koblach, Austria.

The Porsche Charging Service provides access to charging points from various providers worldwide. Currently, more than 900,000 charging points in more than 25 countries are integrated in Europe, including almost 75,000 charging points with more than 150kW of DC charging power

All fully electric Porsche models can be recharged at these lounges around the clock, with a total of six DC fast-charging points at the Leonberg site offering up to 400kW of power. This allows a current-generation Taycan, for example, to charge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes.

Outside, seating areas with recessed speakers underline the standard of comfort at the new Porsche Charging Lounge. Inside, comfortable lounge chairs; a well-stocked selection of soft drinks and snacks; a coffee machine; a water dispenser; and modern sanitary facilities ensure a pleasant visit.

In cooperation with Studio F.A. Porsche, the brand developed a modular concept for the exclusive fast-charging stations, which was implemented at the Hamburg site and is also being used in Leonberg. This approach combines the uniform design language of all Porsche Charging Lounges with a style that is adapted to the respective shape of the property.

The Leonberg site is conveniently located for holidaymakers and business travellers in all four directions, with the major cities of Stuttgart and Pforzheim only about 15km and 25km away, respectively

The charging lounges can be found in the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system and in the My Porsche app, denoted by a gold-coloured icon. To gain access to the charging stations and the lounge area, a Porsche ID is required.

Alternatively, the customer can easily access the location and the lounge using a Porsche Charging Card or a QR code from the My Porsche app. Billing after a charging stop is carried out centrally via the Porsche Charging Service. If desired, payment is also possible on an ad hoc basis.
