Modern fast-charging infrastructure for electric vehicles is being installed by E.ON at MediaMarktSaturn locations throughout Germany. About 80 of the group’s busy consumer electronics stores will have about 300 additional public charging stations installed by 2026, boosting customer convenience and fortifying the E.ON Drive network.
The first fast-charging stations are already under construction, and starting in 2024, users will have access to a variety of charging choices. With the High Power Chargers (HPC) in the stores, drivers will be able to charge a vehicle’s range of up to 200 kilometers in just ten minutes, with a maximum delivery capacity of 300 kW. Every charging station will run entirely on renewable energy.
“With the new electric charging options at MediaMarktSaturn, we are sending a strong signal to our customers and for the future of electromobility. Thanks to our cooperation with E.ON, customers can now conveniently charge their cars at numerous MediaMarktSaturn locations while they shop. This new range of charging points further enhances our brick-and-mortar stores and the local shopping experience and supports our goal of promoting a more sustainable lifestyle,” said Karsten Wildberger, CEO MediaMarktSaturn.
“We are proud to have MediaMarktSaturn, Europe’s leading consumer electronics retailer, as a long-term and strategic partner. This will enable us to equip a large number of attractive locations with fast-charging infrastructure and thus make an important contribution to the mobility transition and climate protection,” said Marc Spieker, E.ON Board Member for Customer Solutions. “E.ON Drive already operates one of the largest charging networks in Europe. At least 1,000 new public fast-charging points are added every year. Cooperation with partners such as MediaMarktSaturn is a key component of this, alongside the construction of our own charging parks.”
