Liz Miller, December 5, 2016 (Santa Monica Observer)
“…BMW, Ford Motor Company, Daimler AG, and Volkswagen Group with Audi and Porsche are among the manufacturers teaming up to provide more efficient charging stations throughout Europe…The network would begin with 400 stations throughout Europe, with the hope of having thousands in place by 2020 [and the companies hope it will be a milestone in mass-market battery electric vehicle adoption]…At this point, charging along highways and thoroughfares can be difficult due to a lack of availability…The network will use Combined Charging System technology to expand the infrastructure of current AC and also DC charging stations. The program plans on bringing DC charging up to 350 kilowatt, making it significantly faster than current systems…The project is set to begin in early 2017.” click here for more
