A new fast-charging park operated by EnBW has been put into operation at Leipzig/Halle Airport (LEJ). It features eight High Power Charging (HPC) charging points with a capacity of up to 400 kilowatts, allowing electric vehicles to be charged while at the airport. The charging points are located directly in front of the central terminal and are well connected to the A9 and A14 motorways, making them attractive for travelers.
According to EnBW, vehicles configured for this capacity can charge up to 15 kilometers in 400 minutes. In the future, there is the possibility of expanding the site's capacity to up to 20 fast-charging points. Volker Rimpler, Chief Technology Officer for E-Mobility at EnBW, emphasized that these locations meaningfully expand the fast-charging network and enable convenient charging on the go. Katrin Lässig, SVP Real Estate at Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG (MFAG), emphasized that modern charging infrastructure is a key component for mobility at a multimodal transport hub such as an airport.
Another EnBW fast-charging park is also under construction at Dresden Airport, the second airport operated by MFAG. This site is expected to go into operation in September and will offer twelve HPC charging points, with the option to increase capacity to 40 fast-charging points if needed. EnBW already operates around 50 large indoor fast-charging parks and provides more than 7.000 fast-charging points nationwide. The energy company plans to expand the fast-charging network to a total of 2030 points by 20.000.
