Volkswagen opens fast-charging park at Zwickau plant
18 Jul 2022|1,064 views
Volkswagen has commissioned its first fast-charging park in Saxony, Germany, at its Zwickau vehicle plant, which is supplied with energy largely from a power storage container.
The charging park at the west gate of the Zwickau plant is made up of four charging stations, each with an output of 150kW, which can also be divided into two outputs of 75kW, allowing up to eight vehicles to charge at the same time. Electricity for this charging park is said to come largely from an adjacent photovoltaic installation, among other sources.
The power storage container, much like the Audi charging hubs, offers a cost-effective charging solution as it does away with the high costs of installing and maintaining a transformer station and instead makes use of used lithium-ion batteries from disassembled Audi test vehicles to supply the buffer storage for direct current electricity. It also enables large quantities of energy to be provided in a short time without overburdening the electricity grid.
