Oberberg & Gummersbach Become EV-Friendly with New Fast-Charging Stations
The region around Oberberg and Gummersbach is becoming more electric vehicle (EV) friendly. AggerEnergie has expanded its public charging network to 29 points, while Gummersbach has opened its first test-charging stations.
Gummersbach's new stations, located on the Steinmüller site, offer 50 kW power output. This allows an empty battery to charge up to 80% within an hour. Payment is convenient with a credit card or customer card, with prices varying based on charging power and user type. Notably, all charging stations use renewable energy exclusively.
Besides Gummersbach, cities like Waldbröl and Bergneustadt in the Oberberg district also boast test charging stations. These can typically handle 2 to 4 vehicles simultaneously. The cost for Gummersbach's two stations was around €70,000, with about 40% covered by funding. Additionally, the Park-and-Ride parking lot can accommodate charging for four vehicles at once.
The expansion of charging infrastructure in the Oberberg district and Gummersbach supports the growing EV community. With test charging options and renewable energy sources, these stations cater to modern EV needs, making it easier for drivers to go electric.
