The five new fast-charging locations operated by Eliso are spread across the states of Lower Saxony, Brandenburg, Bavaria, and Baden-Württemberg. A total of 24 new fast-charging stations with charging capacities between 200 and 400 kW have been installed at these locations. Since the beginning of the year, Eliso has opened 40 new sites in Germany. As a result, the company based in Stuttgart now operates nearly 400 fast-charging stations.
Two of the five new locations are part of Deutschlandnetz, an initiative driven by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Transport with a budget of 2.3 billion euros to expand charging infrastructure in the country. As a subsidiary of Vinci Concessions, Eliso won bids for three regional networks in the Federal Ministry of Transport’s Deutschlandnetz tender and will now be responsible for installing and operating 824 fast charging stations at 110 locations in northern, eastern, and central Germany.
