E-charging stations in Austria: ZGONC and SMATRICS rely on the future!

Brunn am Gebirge, Österreich - On December 23, 2024, the cooperation between Smatrics EnBW and ZGONC was announced, which includes an ambitious initiative to expand the e-charging infrastructure in Austria. By 2026, a total of 130 ultra-fast charging points are to be set up at various ZGONC locations. These high -quality loading points that offer an output of up to 400 kW enable electric vehicles to recharge their batteries for up to 400 kilometers in just 15 minutes. This development marks an important step in the promotion of electromobility and was praised by Thomas Landsbek, CEO of SMATRICS EnBW, as an important contribution to sustainable mobility. The charging options can be announced: Comfortably charge your vehicles on the inside, which underlines the need for e-charging infrastructure in urban areas, as also Michael Dockal, Managing Director of ZGONC, emphasized.

innovative partnership for the future

The initiative is supported by the recent acquisition of EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg, which has acquired 25.1 percent of SMTRICS through its subsidiary EnBW Mobility+ AG & Co. KG. This cooperation aims to develop and establish future-proof e-mobility solutions. Smetrics, which already runs the largest nationwide quick -air network in Austria, will create additional charging points by the end of the year. Management Hauke Hinrichs explains that the strategic orientation of the company is now more focused on the provision of comprehensive solutions for infrastructure, service and IT around e-mobility. This should not only benefit private customers, but also municipal utilities and companies. Cooperation is considered a "win-win situation" for climate protection and the mobility turnaround, as the CEO of Verbund, Michael Strugl, notes, and reflects the trend that more and more companies rely on electrical mobility.

Available is already in operation in Brunn at the mountains, and the following locations are gradually expanded in the federal states of Vienna, Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Styria and Carinthia. All loading points are operated with 100 percent green electricity, which not only promotes electromobility, but also makes an important contribution to environmental protection.
