Porsche Opens 1st “Charging Lounge”
Now we’re getting somewhere! Five years ago, in collaboration with GreenWay and more than 10 private, public, and nonprofit partners,. Included in the report were specific station design recommendations. There are also opportunities for massive improvement in the EV charging experience when combining stations with pleasant and useful recreation, shopping, and entertainment options. Unfortunately, stations like these are still extremely few and far between.
This first Charging Lounge includes six 300kW fast chargers and four 22kW chargers. However, the station was built to be expandable and the charging rates can and will eventually be increased to 400kW. Naturally, the lounge is plush and stylish. “The lounge is glazed from floor to ceiling, creating a smooth transition between inside and outside. Bright colours and light wood provide an atmosphere that promotes a sense of well-being.
The lounge includes “a large selection of soft drinks and snacks.” That’s one step in the right direction. When people are taking a break from a long drive, they often want a snack and a drink — if not a full meal or comfy place to chill out and drink a fancy coffee. Offering a large selection of snacks and drinks is a good step in that direction, but Porsche could do even more by including a little restaurant or cafe.
The good news is that I don’t think Porsche is dabbling in this approach. It wants to be a premium-class leader in the new EV era, and it intends to electrify its fleet quickly. “Porsche has mapped out an ambitious path towards electrification. By 2030 we want over 80 per cent of the cars that we deliver to be all-electric. This ambitious ramp-up requires a high-performance and dense fast-charging network,” says Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG.
