Audi rolls out luxury EV charging hubs across Europe

Successful pilot project in Nuremberg has charged more than 3600 cars since opening in December

The firm opened the first semi-permanent site, which features six 320kW fast chargers and a lounge, in Nuremberg, Germany last December. The hub draws power from the local grid and roof-mounted solar panels, with the energy then stored in ‘power cubes’ that contain second-life batteries taken from electric Audi test cars and offer around 2.45mWh of storage.
