E.ON and HOCHTIEF Building Thousands of Charging Stations for Electric Cars in Germany

E.ON and Hochtief are building charging stations for electric cars

Two companies from Essen will soon ensure that there are more charging stations for electric cars throughout Germany. Federal Transport Minister Wissing wants to create more options for electric cars with the so-called Germany network. E.ON and HOCHTIEF from Rüttenscheid received the federal government grant. That’s why E.ON is building 1,200 new charging points throughout Germany, and HOCHTIEF will build 850. In total, the German network will soon create around 8,000 fast charging points nationwide. This should provide significantly better options for charging electric cars. E.ON has already announced that construction of the new charging stations should be completed by 2026.

So far, there are still too few fast charging points for electric cars nationwide. The Germany network wants to fill the current gaps in order to make electric cars significantly more attractive and to promote the energy transition in transport. In addition to the two companies from Essen-Rüttenscheid, ten other companies have been awarded the contract for the Germany network to build and operate 900 locations with a total of around 8,000 fast charging points for electric cars. These are the following companies:

• Allego GmbH

• E.ON Drive Infrastructure GmbH
• Eviny Elektrifikation AS
• EWE Go HOCHTIEF Ladepartner GmbH & Co. KG.
• Fastned Germany GmbH & Co. KG
