Sure, the Tesla supercharger experience is convenient for owners of the Model S / 3 / X / Y, but what if you wanted a luxurious place to lounge instead of just hanging around a random strip mall or supermarket? The Audi Charging Hub hopes to offer just that experience, with the first one located in Nuremberg, Germany.
It offers roughly 2.45 Mwh interim storage across the six charging stations, which have a charging output of up to 300 kW, and only require a standard 400 volt high-voltage hook-up. This results in output starting at 11 kW per cube, which is sufficient to fill the three storage modules with a total capacity of 2.45 MWh continually and to charge them overnight. Photovoltaic modules installed on the roof provide additional green energy. While your EV is charging, make your way to the upstairs lounge area to enjoy snacks, drinks and several non-food items.

The charging hub embodies our aspiration for the electric era and highlights Audi’s commitment to ‘Vorsprung durch Technik.’ A flexible high-performing HPC charging park like this does not require much from the local electricity grid and uses a sustainable battery concept. We are testing what the optimal technical solution is in a very realistic way. The focus in doing so is firmly on the needs of our customers,” said Oliver Hoffmann, Member of the Board for Technical Development of Audi AG.
