TotalEnergies opens Germany’s first flagship charging station at Berlin Airport: ‘Continue to expand charging network’

TotalEnergies heeft op de Duitse luchthaven Berlin-Brandenburg zijn eerste grote flagship laadstation geopend met snelladers voor zowel auto’s als vrachtwagens.
'We zetten de uitbreiding van ons snellaadnetwerk in Duitsland consequent voort, met als doel onze klanten te helpen hun CO2-uitstoot te verminderen', aldus TotalEnergies.

TotalEnergies has opened at Germany’s Berlin-Brandenburg airport its first major flagship charging station in Germany with fast chargers for both cars and trucks. The charging stations are 100 per cent powered by electricity from renewable energy sources.

The new charging hub is located on the Elly Beinhorn Ring, right at the entrance to Berlin Airport. At the TotalEnergies fast charging station, electric passenger cars can charge at a total of 12 charging points with a capacity of up to 400 kW. Three charging points are available for electric trucks, also each with a capacity of up to 400 kW. The truck charging station is designed for five-axle vehicles with a maximum permissible weight of up to 40 tonnes and offers extra manoeuvring space. The flagship charging station is barrier-free and offers additional services such as a tyre pressure gauge and a hoover in addition to charging facilities.

Solar panels

Renewable energy and sustainability played an important role in the construction and design of the charging hub. The roof of the charging station is equipped with solar panels, whose electricity is fed into the on-site charging infrastructure. To save resources and avoid waste, the existing concrete slabs on site were broken up and reused as a substrate for the manoeuvring area. The green central island and surrounding green space reduce surface compaction, thus facilitating rainwater infiltration.

Expansion

“We are consistently continuing the expansion of our HPC fast charging network in Germany, with the aim of helping our customers reduce their CO2 emissions,” explains Jan Petersen, managing director of TotalEnergies Charging Solutions Deutschland. “Ideally located directly at the airport, today we are opening our first flagship hub, where electric cars as well as electric commercial vehicles and trucks can be charged. Whether travellers, taxi drivers or logistics service providers, at this TotalEnergies they will now all find a fast and convenient charging option with optimal transport connections. Thus, we are making an important contribution to the decarbonisation of mobility and delivery traffic around Berlin Airport.”
