The pilot site, which is located two minutes from motorway junction A60/A61, has been equipped with six 300 kW DC fast-charging stations and four 22 kW AC charging points. Manufactured by Italian electronic specialist Alpitronic, the chargers will be able to supply power to all of Porsche’s electric and hybrid models.Geared toward discerning Porsche drivers, the network will showcase top-tier design, tech, and service for which the nameplate is renowned.
The interior is decked out with bright colors and light woods that together promote a sense of well-being, according to the automaker. Drivers can refuel with soft drinks and snacks or freshen up in the bathrooms. The lounge even has a smart mirror if you want to squeeze a workout in before jumping back behind the wheel. You can also enjoy Wi-Fi, interactive Porsche content, and an array of media.The lounge will be open 24/7, but a Porsche ID is required to access it and the charging stations.
To top it off, Porsche says the charging processes use power from certified renewable sources. The first lounge is heated and air-conditioned by a heat pump that operates without fossil fuels, too. The building generates part of the required electricity via rooftop solar panels. It also optimizes power consumption by automatically dimming the lighting when there are no guests, for example.
