Audi is expanding its luxury EV charging hub concept to more cities, but is this something that could work stateside?
, which features a 2150-sq-ft lounge and six charging points, has a 70% customer return rate since opening in December 2021. The hub provides 36 charging sessions per day on average, with customers having integrated their visits into their routines, but has also recorded up to 62 charging sessions on a peak day.
The second hub in Zurich, Switzerland, is seeing similar levels of demand. The automaker notes that about half of hub visitors arrive in vehicles from the Audi brand."Berlin is yet another example of the success of our smart charging concept," said Ralph Hollmig, Audi charging hub project manager."In this way, we will manage all hub locations as efficiently and sustainably as possible. We are working on energy optimization.
Of course, a reservation-only charging hub requires some mild planning, a predictable schedule, and some free time in one's weekly routine, with the hub aimed at EV owners who might not always have access to a charging point at home.
