“More than half of charging stations to become renewable power capable”

Wirtschaftswoche

A joint venture of BMW, Bosch, Daimler, EnBW, RWE and Siemens wants to enable e-car drivers to charge their vehicles using only renewable power at more than half of Germany’s e-car charging stations, reports business magazine Wirtschaftswoche. Their project Intercharge forms a network of various operators’ charging stations. The green power used at the chargers will be produced by a Swiss hydropower station, according to the report. Most charging stations today use green power only as part of the power mix in the grid, which also contains conventional sources.
