First quick loading park on A4 near Ronshausen: E-cars fill up with lightning speed!

Today, an important progress for electromobility in Hesse was celebrated: the first quick loading park for electric cars at an unmanaged rest area was officially opened. The location is located on the A4 near Ronshausen, suitable between the Wileck-Hönebach and Friedewald junctions in the direction of Bad Hersfeld. According to Hessenschau has six charging columns that can be used at the same time Goal to keep a charging station available every ten minutes.

The new loading park is part of the “Deutschlandnetz” project, which is headed by Autobahn GmbH and wants to create a total of over 1,000 quick load points nationwide at unmanaged rest areas. A total of 4,000 quick load points are to be created on motorways in Germany, including the rest stops managed. This is not only a step towards a better charging infrastructure, but also a significant contribution to the promotion of electromobility, such as autobahn.de emphasized.

A look at the charging infrastructure in Hesse

The numbers speak for themselves: In Hesse there was almost 12,950 public charging points for electric cars in Hesse on February 1, 2023-that is 30 % more than last year. Of these, almost 3,000 fast loaders that offer at least 22 kilowatts of power are. The majority of these charging points are located in urban areas, especially in Frankfurt with 1,836 and in the district of Groß-Gerau with 1,162 charging points. Compared to other federal states, Hessen takes fifth place in Germany, behind Lower Saxony, Baden-Württemberg, North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria.

A decisive goal of the federal government is a nationwide network from one million charging points by 2030. Over two thirds of the drivers surveyed state that an inadequate charging infrastructure represents an hurdle when buying electric cars. Therefore, the expansion of the fast loading systems is of great importance for the acceptance of electric vehicles, such as a survey by Statista

future prospects and new developments

The accumulation of the charging stations corresponds to the latest technical standards. Each fast loading point has a minimum nation of 200 kW, while the maximum charging capacity can even be up to 300 kW if only one vehicle is connected. Payment processes are extremely uncomplicated and can be processed via common, contactless card payment systems. Safety and service aspects are also not neglected, because operators are obliged to offer a hotline around the clock. autobahn.de emphasizes that each charging station transmits status information almost in real time in order to register any failures directly.

With the new quick charging park in Hesse, not only the increasing demand for electromobility is addressed, but also part of the entire initiative of the "Deutschlandnetz", which aims to ensure that the next quick loading point can be reached in a few minutes. After all, it is clear: the better the charging infrastructure, the more people choose an electric car. And that's a good sign of the environment and sustainable mobility.
