Volkswagen introduces near-series design study of the MEB-based flexible quick charging station at Geneva

Green Car Congress

Connected to the grid or even off-grid, the station can charge up to four electric cars simultaneously, based on the principle of a ‘power bank’, two with DC quick charging. The charging station can be used as interim storage for eco-power; however, when connected to the mains power grid, it becomes a permanent charging point.
