CEO Tobias Wagner explained his innovative idea of the multiple socket. The idea behind it is as clever as it is cost-effective: Only a wallbox has to be permanently installed, which is connected according to the principle of an intelligent multiple socket and can be extended by up to six modular charging points using a "Plug&Play" adapter system.
At the workshop, Volkswagen announced that it would be investing 250 million euros across all brands in the development of charging infrastructure. By 2025, 36,000 charging points for e-cars are planned throughout the Group, 11,000 of which will be provided by the Volkswagen brand. An interview with Thomas Ulbrich can be found here.
