E.ON to install fast chargers in German-Danish border region

E.ON and the Danish Fleggaard Group are installing charging stations at four branches of the border shopping chain in northern Germany, thus contributing to the expansion of the public charging infrastructure on the German-Danish border.

Customers can charge their electric cars at the 36 new charging points while shopping in the border shops in Fleggaard or Calle, according to E.ON. Residents, holidaymakers and commuters travelling between Germany and Denmark will also be able to use the charging facilities, according to the German energy supplier.

The charging points will be DC fast chargers in two different power classes: According to E.On Drive Infrastructure, it is installing 16 charging points with up to 150 kW and four with up to 400 kW at the Fleggaard border shop in Harrislee near Flensburg alone. More than half of the overall project will therefore be built in the car park of this shop. Süderlügum (six charging points, already in operation), Calle Krusau (four charging points) and Fleggaard Krusau (six charging points) are also part of the current expansion round.

For background information, E.ON refers to its own survey, according to which more than 55 per cent of electric car drivers expect there to be charging stations at supermarkets. The construction of fast chargers is also in line with the typical length of stay in a supermarket – depending on the battery size and charging capacity of the vehicle, a significant amount of range can be recharged during a typical shopping trip.

“We are experiencing increasing demand for charging options from our customers with electric cars, and we want to meet this demand more than ever before. There is a significant increase in customers travelling with electric cars. We want to be one step ahead and are therefore very pleased with the partnership with E.ON Drive Infrastructure,” says Jonas Johannsen, Finance Director at Fleggaard Detail.

“We are convinced that not only Fleggaard’s regular customers will benefit from the new charging parks, but also electric car drivers who want to use the charging time for a good cup of coffee or a meal,” says Arjan van der Eijk, COO of E.ON Drive Infrastructure.
