Fast-charging and HPC projects

• EU-funded research and

infrastructure project with

installations in Germany

and Belgium

• 219 DC-chargers in

Germany, 37 DC-chargers

in Belgium

• Subsidy by German

Ministry of Economic Affairs

• 40 Locations granted

• Sites are already equipped

with 1 MW grid connection

(HPC-ready)

• Allego active as investor

• Research project funded by

the German Ministry of

Transport and Digital

Infrastructure

• Evaluating the physical

We enable electric long distance

driving in Europe

We install the latest and innovative

charging infrastructure for the next

generation of electric vehicles

ultra-E is the first EU-funded pilot

project in the area of ultra-fast

charging technology


From Amsterdam and Brussels to Vienna

and Graz

• First-time 100% electric long distance driving

in Europe

• The 25 ultra-fast charging locations are being

built along a corridor in four European

countries

• The total length of the covered corridor is more

than 1,100 km

We connect Europe


• Consortium of nine partners

• Allego is coordinating the project

• Cooperation in Studies

• Market & Business Model

• Ultra-Charging Network Planning

• Technology, Equipment, ICT

• Pilot Deployment & Operations

• Flexible solution for the requirements of the OEM

• High charging currents require cooled charging cables for the first time

• Innovative ICT – Plug & Charge, Reservations

• Program of Requirements

• Not all requirements can be fulfilled not even completely

be defined in advance

Network planning and location development


ultra-E corridor

• Along the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)

Trans European Transport Network (TEN-T)

corridors from Amsterdam and Brussels via

Cologne, Frankfurt and Munich to Vienna and

Graz

• Enables a variety of routes with ultra-fast charging locations in Germany (12),

the Netherlands (5),

Belgium (4) and

Austria (4)

• 150-200 km distance between

the locations

Decision support system


Must-have location factors

• Location for the ultra-fast charging stations very close to the highway at the given corridor

• Public accessibility 24/7

• Four adjoining car parking spaces, dimensions of at least 5 m x 2.5 m

• Lighting of the area of charging stations and parking spaces

• Additional space for equipment (transformer compact station, power units)

Location comfort

• Restrooms, gastro (e.g. (fast food) restaurants, cafes), shopping (e.g. supermarket, gas

station shop), Wifi

Location criteria


22* Final setup may vary from this depiction

Multiple involved stakeholders lead to an extensive deployment process

• Contractual agreement with Location Partner (several weeks to many months)

• Confirmation of property owner (several weeks to few months)

• Grid connection offer and contract (1-3 months)

• Outline building application (several weeks)

• Municipal agreement (2 months)

• Building permit (2-3 month)

• Installation preparation and executions works (4 weeks)

Experiences withHPC deployment


First public ultra-charging location in Europe

• Operational date: 20.12.2017

• Charging sessions with 50+ kW

EVs and prototypes up to 160 kW

• Hyndai Ioniq

• Porsche Mission E


Impressions from deployment (timelapse)


• Financial barriers:

• Significant investment for HPC locations precede car sales and uptake

• Unique load profile of HPC locations leads to very high OPEX costs for grid connection

• Technology:

• Moving target due to fast market developments in early market

• Location development & deployment

• Find suitable locations and partners with willingness to cooperate

• Scattered landscape (e.g. 800+ DSOs in Germany): different requirements, tariffs and knowledge level

• Unpredictable requirements and long lead times due to legal frameworks of local governance

Barriers for CPOs


Pan-European networks



Outlook: pan-European networks

15.03.2018

• Long-distance EV travels will come

• HPC infrastructure desperately needed

• Allego will start follow-up project to electrify

Metropolitan Greater Areas (Mega-E) and corridors in between

• More projects announced and will be rolled out
