Ultrafast charging station A9 Münchberg

Charging with more power requires a more robust electricity supply. This is much more expensive both to buy and to run in comparison normal speed chargers. It also requires a different type of charger with more functionality than a normal speed charger.

We apply a standard rate for charging in public spaces, but this rate can nevertheless vary depending on location, depending on what the local municipality has paid to subsidize the charging service. This subsidy means that we are able to charge you as a driver a lower charging service price.

Regular Charging 

You need a Type 2 charging cable that is suitable for regular charging. The charging cable is brought by the user and must fit the vehicle.

Fast Charging 

A set of Full electric vehicles (battery electric vehicles ) and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV can charge at our Allego chargers using a CCS or a CHAdeMO plug. 

Read all about charging cables on our blog. 

As soon as you have plugged your car into the charging station and logged in with your card or app, charging will begin.

The charging time of an electric vehicle depends on several factors: the current charge of the battery and the total capacity of the battery, the charging technology in the electric vehicle, the equipment and type of charging station available and the type of charging cable used. For example a BMW i3 with 11 kW AC charger charges up to 11 kWh per hour at an AC charging station with a three-phase charging cable. A single-phase charging cable only charges 3.7 kWh per hour.

Range is the distance that any electric vehicle can travel without recharging. This depends to a large extent on your driving style. For instance a higher speed will consume more power than driving smoothly, so please take into account speed in relation to the distance you have to travel. It may be that you have to charge your electric car at a charging point mid-journey. Through the navigation system in your car you will quickly find a charging point and drive you there to recharge.

The limitation of the charging speed depends on the following factors.

• The on board charger of your car (maximum capacity of the charger)
• The power capacity of the charging station used
• Occupancy of the charge pole (number of cars connected)
• The capacity of the grid

When your on board charger is 1 phase and depending on the power delivered being 16amps or 32 amps, the power that will be delivered from the charging pole limits to the power that can be absorbed by your car.

An electric car does not emit Co2, which considerably improves air quality. An electric car is therefore an environmentally conscious choice! An electric car has a lithium-ion battery. These batteries are 95% recyclable, which also contributes to a better environment. Apart from the environment, the sound – or rather the lack of it – is a pleasant bonus. The only noise that an electric car makes is the friction of the tires over the asphalt. And if you need a final reason... electric cars require virtually no maintenance.

The EV market consists of various parties. There is the Charge Point Operator (CPO) and the Mobility Service Provider (MSP).

The CPO: Provides the delivery of the charging points, the installation and maintenance of the charge points and the breakdown service.

The MSP: Sells mobility products and services. In this case, a charging subscription, the corresponding charging card and / or app and the payment of your charging sessions will take place via this party.

There are three different types of electric cars. With a Plug-in Hybrid, the car is powered by either an electric or fuel engine. An example of this is the Mitsubishi Outlander. In addition, you have the E-REV, the Extended Range electric car. Here the drive is completely electric, but a small auxiliary fuel motor is used for charging the battery, as is the case with the Opel Ampera and the BMW i3. The last type is the fully electric car (BEV / FEV), which is entirely powered by an electric motor and does not support a fuel engine, such as with the Nissan Leaf, Volkswagen e-Golf or Tesla.

If a malfunction should unexpectedly occur, please call the number shown on the charging station. The helpdesk experts will help you immediately and professionally. Please make sure you have the reference number of the charging station to hand. NL: 0800 3745337 BE: 0800 78192 GER: 030 2332 10000 UK: 0800 0294601
