Volkswagen Group recently completed a midterm review of its worldwide network of fast charging stations. Approximately 15,000 ultra-fast chargers with a charging capacity of up to 350 kW will be connected to the network by the end of 2022, representing more than a third of the 45,000 charging sites the business aims to construct. To promote the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, the firm and its allies declared on Power Day 2021 that they would establish a worldwide network of ultra-fast chargers free of charge to their customers. The strategy calls for approximately 10,000 fast charging stations to be operational in Europe and up to 25,000 globally by the end of 2023.
"Numerous years ago, the Volkswagen Group initiated plans for a worldwide system of fast chargers. Our 15,000 rapid charging stations across North America, China, and Europe solidify our position as an industry leader in electric mobility. This results from our teamwork with other companies and organizations in the energy and industrial sectors. Charging is essential for e-mobility, but we also see it as a promising future strategic business area. We hope to add more features and functionality down the road."
