BMW, Daimler’s Mercedes, Ford, and Volkswagen’s Audi and Porsche
announced today that they are creating a joint-venture with the goal of a
“quick build-up of a sizable number of stations in order to enable
long-range travel for battery electric vehicle drivers.”
The new venture is similar to the Ultra
E project announced earlier this year to deploy 25 new charging station
for electric vehicles along the trans-European transport network
(TEN-T), but it’s apparently a separate and much more ambitious project to deploy 400 stations across Europe.
The new network will be based on Combined Charging System (CCS)
standard technology and each station will feature not only both level 2
AC chargers and level 3 DC chargers, but also the new ” ultra-fast
high-powered chargers” and, like the ones of the Ultra E project, they
will be able to deliver up to 350 kW – more than twice the capacity of
the current best charger, Tesla’s Supercharger at 145 kW.
