Audi’s Frankfurt Charging Hub Unveiled
Audi has reveiled a new charging hub in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, offering a seamless, high-power charging experience. The hub is designed to accommodate electric cars of any brand, featuring four high-power charging (HPC) stations with up to 320 kW of power.
Beyond mere charging, Audi has partnered with Klassikstadt Frankfurt to provide a unique waiting experience, housed in a historic building with a rich collection of vintage and modern classic cars. Here, users can enjoy various dining options in a cozy setting while their vehicle charges.
Audi’s commitment to expanding urban charging solutions is evident in the establishment of this hub, expected to support around 5,000 charging operations annually. The inclusion of second-life batteries for energy storage highlights a sustainable approach, ensuring ample power for uninterrupted service. With features catering to accessibility, like the swivel arm reducing cable weight by 60%, and virtual support services, Audi sets a new standard for user-friendly, efficient, and inclusive EV charging stations.
“In the Frankfurt metropolitan area, we’ve got a high density of electrically powered vehicles. The charging hub is not only a welcome additional charging opportunity, but it also gives users the option to spend the waiting time at the adjacent Klassikstadt building,” states Stephanie Wüst, Frankfurt City Councillor. This initiative not only enhances the EV infrastructure but also integrates community and convenience, embodying Audi’s vision for the future of mobility.
