en.Wedoany.com Reported - Baden-Württemberg is advancing the expansion of a fast-charging network for trucks, with the project awarding two of three funding lots to a consortium consisting of Regioladen+ and LichtBlick, thereby securing the maximum funding amount available per applicant.

As part of the BASE BW funding program, tenders have been issued for the selection of multiple new charging station locations. Over the next two years, several new charging stations will be built and gradually put into operation. The state government's requirements for the charging stations include: at least four truck charging points per site; each charging point equipped with a CCS charging interface; and a total charging capacity of at least 1200 kW. Additionally, the stations will be equipped with a battery energy storage system, with the optional integration of a Megawatt Charging System (MCS).

The new stations aim to support the transition of regional economic transport to electric drive, providing freight forwarders and logistics companies with more convenient high-performance charging infrastructure. The project is based on close cooperation among multiple partners, including, in addition to LichtBlick eMobility and Regioladen+, companies from the Thüga Group. Together, the parties identified suitable locations and conducted negotiations with landowners and businesses. During implementation, LichtBlick eMobility is responsible for initial financing and operation, Regioladen+ for technical maintenance, while planning and construction are handled by a joint project company.

Through this project, Baden-Württemberg aims to accelerate the construction of a statewide charging infrastructure for heavy commercial vehicles, promoting decarbonization in the transport sector. For the logistics industry, high-performance charging infrastructure is seen as a prerequisite for expanding the everyday use of electric trucks. With projects like BASE BW, range and charging concerns can be reduced, investment decisions simplified, and the transition to alternative drive systems accelerated.
