Is it planed to install or donate any smardcardfree charging stations type P&C or Drehstromkiste during this event ?

[Senninha]

Hello Talkradius,

As in 2011 we ll have free, mobile charging stations at our event for charging in Frankfurt, Mannheim( overnight in parc fermé) , Bruchsal and Pforzheim ( Schuko 230 V ; overnight in parc fermé) . Last year Schletter Group ( Park+Charge) was our Partner and delivered us 40 stations, but for 2012 our supplier/ partner and exact number of stations are not yet fixed/decided.

Electric mobility - Traffic engineering - Schletter GmbH

And there will 2 ART / (Chaergart) charging stations for sure at Hockenheimring as well , but we want to offer and will organise more charging stations here as well .

Hockenheimring vereinbart Kooperation mit Bertha Benz Challenge | Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg

Willkommen bei ART CHARGEART

If you have suggestions for alternative suppyling charging stations we ll be gladly interested. CHADEMO is not possible for all type of cars, so we have to consider both usability and logistics here.


Hope we have give you some usefull answers on your question.


Best regards,

Hi Senninha,

I'm not talking about charging during the event, I'm talking about what will remain when the caravan has moved on, which charging stations @nosmartcard will remain there. Is it planned to donate some for hotels our other nice locations, which can be used by every EV driver without smart cards access or other restrictions ?

After 93.000 km in my Roadster I came to the conclusion, I'll never pay money anymore for attending any event, I will only attend when charging stations are donated, and if they are type Drehstromkiste or P&C (or type Kevin Sharpe ) or similar I'll pay money to make the donation possible.. I think many of the long distance Roadster drivers will follow this route.

This is another aspect of sustainability

hello Talkradius,

we try to offer our participants opportunities to directly charge at the best, PR relevant locations. We would love would if along the Bertha Benz route fixed charging stations and at least one H2 station for fuel cell cars would be installed. For this we need strong financial partners, a lot of politics and the will of the municipalities. And as you know this is no 1,2,3 exercise ......

And this is definetely not an empty slogan of us, this is part of our long-term goal. Believe us, we intend to do a lot more than just organise the x. eRally! This year is a cross-over mix
of 4 components.

Hockenheimring for softies? Do 3-5 fast laps, and your brakes and batteries will no longer perform 100% .......... i am sure. And although there will be no e.Race, faster driving against each other will occur .........


We want to make a statement at the Ring in front of the large audience, offer our participants some fun at the same time and make positive PR message : E-mobility is not boring and slow.

Of course the Alps and especially the Dolomiti are super nice to drive, but why we should teach the mountain goats and cows over there new mobility? We don't see that as our job at least .........


Best regards,

Senninha

Really ? Ask Kevin Sharpe, I'm sure he will donate some charging stations

Driving with an EV through Italy is a real challenge, not any race track, at least for me

hmm what might the inhabitants and visitors of the dolomiti think about that ? I'll ask them when I'm there in September.

Can you fwd me to Kevin Sharpe or tell me where to find him ? Is he running a business in charging equipment or so ?
It sounds too nice if someone wants to donate, but of course we are looking for further, innovative partners and sponsors
to support the development of our event / program.
And we ll be thankfull for everyone who is supportive since we are no press agency nor a major car magazin and so we have
to work real hard to establish ourselves.

I perfectly understand and would say: every one has his own likes and tastes.

We aim to offer a broad programm with several components to please a large group of participants

Well I guess some of them will think finally the aliens have arrived..........

Hello doug,

thank you for you reply. Yes, Bertha Benz Challenge 2012 is an european event held in Germany. Sorry if I ve put a double post, but as a rookie
here I am not familiar yet with the tools and customs here. Learning by doing ......

And Talkradius also sent me a PN already to clear me up. If the link remains people can find it anyway. Over 400 views in 3 days, not bad.......
Hope to see a lot of Teslas on the 14.09.2012 in Frankfurt !
