Kaufland celebrates 500th fast charging point with 50 percent discount
The retailer Kaufland considers itself on the right track regarding the expansion of the charging infrastructure at its markets and now reports another milestone: In Jülich, the company recently put the already 500th fast-charging point into operation. The company is using this as an opportunity for a promotional offer, where customers with a Kaufland Card will be charged only half the tariff for charging for two weeks. Instead of the relatively inexpensive 0.48 euros per kilowatt-hour, it will then cost only 0.24 euros to fill the battery at DC charging points. At AC charging points with up to 22 kilowatts of charging power, the cost per kilowatt-hour will be 0.145 euros instead of 0.29 euros for the next two weeks.
“We are pleased to be able to offer not only full shopping carts but also more and more full batteries. Customers are happy to take advantage of the offer, and that is why we want to give them something special in return with this promotional campaign,” says Paul-Werner Neisser-Deiters, Head of Energy Management in the Real Estate division.
You can register in the Kaufland app, also for e-mobility. To pay for the charging process, customers use the Kaufland Pay payment function integrated into the Kaufland Card. The customer only needs to verify their bank details once to activate the payment function. Subsequently, the customer can select the desired charging station and start the charging process under “E-Mobility” in the app.
Dense E-Charging Network with Over 300 Locations
Nationwide, charging is currently possible at over 300 Kaufland locations. The network mainly consists of DC charging stations, where, depending on the vehicle, 45 minutes of idle time at the e-charging station is enough to charge for up to 250 kilometers. The company announced its intention to contribute to the widespread availability of the environmentally friendly technology and will continue to expand its network of charging stations in the future. All charging stations are also operated with 100 percent green electricity, which carries the "Green Electricity" label. This label is intended to guarantee that the green electricity comes 100 percent from renewable energy sources, ensuring high transparency.
