Increasing charging power reduces the required charging time in electric cars that are able to use the increased power.
For example, from a 200 kW station, you can get several tens of kilowatt hours of driving energy in 10 minutes, which is enough to drive even hundreds of kilometers depending on the car and driving conditions.
According to Marco Sarencedo of ABC Networks, the increase in power of the chain’s fast charging stations will continue in the near future.
