To make electromobility attractive not only for commuters and regional transportation, but also for travel, we need DC fast-charging stations throughout Europe. While conventional AC charging stations often take hours to fully charge a battery, DC fast chargers can do this in minutes. But what is the current state of the DC fast charging network? What developments and innovations are there? And what hurdles and challenges need to be overcome?
We talk about this with Marcel Brzank, Head of Product Lifecycle Management High Power Charging at Siemens.
