30 percent more electric car charging points in Munich



Bavaria Parkgaragen and E.ON open new charging locations in the Bavarian capital
Trialling a new charging system: The electricity is paid for as part of the car parking fee. Charging up an electric car at the charging points costs one euro no matter much energy is ’filled up’



Bavaria Parkgaragen GmbH and E.ON AG have teamed up to open the first eight jointly operated charging points for electric cars in Munich. Up to two electric cars can be charged at the same time at each point. The new charging points are located in the Elisenhof multi-storey car park at Munich’s main train station, on Salvatorplatz in the ’Hackenviertel’, in Rieger City at Isartor, in the Arabellapark and in the garage of THE m.pire in the Park District of Schwabing. "We are subsidising these charging points to give e-mobility a boost in its initial stages," says Claus Schnell, Managing Director of Bavaria Parkgaragen GmbH. Just 1 euro is all it costs to charge up an electric car’s batteries, and the use of a charging point is included in the car parking fee. Basically any electric car can ’fill up’ at the new ’pumps’. "Cars are parked in our garages for four to five hours on average – plenty of time to re-charge most e-car batteries," says Claus Schnell.


"The launch of our car charging points represents an important step in promoting e-mobility not just as a research project but as a genuine business proposition," claims Ruth Werhahn, Head of Electromobility at E.ON. "We plan to install and operate more integrated parking and charging solutions for customers going forward." This puts into practice E.ON’s policy of offering charging solutions for customers such as retailers, car parking providers and vehicle fleet operators. "For us, parking and charging go hand in hand, in other words, they happen where drivers in any case leave their cars for several hours at a time", says Ruth Werhahn. E.ON anticipates that more and more car parks will be equipped with battery charging infrastructure in years to come.


Bavaria Parkgaragen GmbH plans to offer charging facilities with each new multi-storey which it builds together with its strategic partner Bayerische Hausbau. Expanding the charging network for electric cars will make a vital contribution to ensuring inner city mobility in the long term. Electric cars do not emit CO2, they are smaller than many conventional cars and take up less space both on the road and in car parks. According to Claus Schnell, where households run second and third cars there is a good chance that they will replace at least one of these vehicles with an electric car in the medium term. Again, Schnell sees potential for the electric car among commuters who travel up to 100 kilometres a day from the ’affluent suburbs’ into the city centre. Property developers should also make a contribution to this endeavour. Electric cars could only occupy a permanent place in the urban traffic mix if the network of charging points expands. "Every property company must shoulder some of the social responsibility which we also bear", asserts Schnell. By August 2011 there were around 29 public electricity charging points in the Munich urban area according to the ’Bundesverband Elektromobilität’ (BEM), Germany’s e-mobility association. The launch of a further 8 charging points means that there are now altogether 37 outlets for around 200 electric cars in Munich. E.ON operates an additional 20 charging points in areas around the Bavarian capital.



Use of the charging points is aimed especially at those drivers taking part in the "e-fleet" model project. As part of this project – which is supported by the Federal Ministry of Transport – the project partners aim to build up experience in the practical use of electric cars. While their particular focus is directed at the needs of customers in terms of vehicles and vehicle charging infrastructure, the charging points are available to all other interested parties as well.

big question is, would you charge a Tesla Roadster or Model S there. .

yesno (German jein):smile:

actually you can't charge a Tesla Roadster at a EON charging station
=>
Tesla-Fahrer und -Freunde Forum Thema anzeigen - EON Ladestationen (German forum of Tesla drivers and friends)

To get power you have to close the door, to start charging you have to push the green button, after the door is closed:crying:

But you get a parking lot for free e.g. 10 m from the main entrance of the German Museum :biggrin:
 
No , even with the 160miles package should not be necessary

allmost all German (European) Power suppliers, trying to ripoff the EV Drivers.
They still do not provide acceptable prices for home charging.

E.ON Home Charging Rates !

Daytime: 23,38 Euro/Cent
Night : 20,38 Euro/Cent


If you "waste" the energie for heating you can get it for:

Daytime : 16,06 Ct/kWh
