Porsche has opened the first of several planned EV charging lounges outside Bingen am Rhein, Germany, according to a press release. Just two minutes from motorway junction A60/A61, it offers six 300-kilowatt DC fast-charging stations and four 22-kilowatt AC charging points.

The company plans to set up its own fast-charging stations along Europe's most important routes.

Further Porsche charging lounges are currently planned for Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

All electric and plug-in hybrid models from Porsche can be supplied with electricity at chargers manufactured by South Tyrolean electronic specialist Alpitronic.

The stations currently provide a maximum of 300 kilowatts but are capable of being upgraded to deliver higher charging speeds.

By the start of next year, 400 kilowatts per charging point should be possible.

The charging processes use power from certified renewable sources.
