With the ban on combustion engines from 2035, the European Commission is continuing an ambitious plan for climate protection. However, the vote scheduled for this week had to be postponed. Important Member States such as Germany and Italy want exceptions for combustion engines that run on CO2-neutral synthetic fuels (e-fuels). But the terrible costs for the charging infrastructure cannot yet be precisely quantified. The “Krone” has a newspaper that has it all.
If an electric car is connected to a fast charging station in the parking lot of the supermarket, the load on the electricity grid can be greater than that of the supermarket. According to the ATES in this country, this has an average power consumption of 400 kilowatt hours per year and square meter. A small supermarket with an area of 400 square meters therefore has an annual consumption of about 160,000 kilowatt hours. That’s about 440 per day, or 18 per hour. A fast charging station that pumps electricity into the battery of an e-vehicle with a charging capacity of 50 to 350 kilowatts consumes more power in an hour than the supermarket at full capacity.
