Munich Airport in Bavaria unveils its biggest electric vehicle charging station
Munich Airport has announced the opening of its new public electric vehicle (EV) charging park, located in parking garage P44. This significant addition to Bavaria's public charging infrastructure could potentially help the state regain the title of the federal state with the most public charging points, currently held by North Rhine-Westphalia.
The charging park is equipped with charging points that can deliver up to 22 kilowatts of power each. The energy for the charging park comes, in part, from two new solar installations on the roof of parking garage P44 and a neighboring one. This renewable energy source contributes to the total installed capacity in Bavaria.
As of August 1, North Rhine-Westphalia had 34,063 registered charging points, compared to Bavaria's 33,909. However, before the opening of Munich Airport's charging park, Bavaria still led in the number of fast chargers and total installed capacity. The difference between the two states is 154 charging points.
Airport CEO Jost Lammers described the charging park as a 'key component of the airport's climate protection strategy'. Bavarian Finance Minister and Airport Supervisory Board Chairman, Albert Füracker (CSU), has praised the charging park and solar installations as a 'clear sign for climate protection'.
The charging park serves as a 'role model and blueprint for further construction projects across the entire airport campus'. The airport has invested approximately 5.2 million euros in this project so far.
It is worth noting that the person leading Munich Airport is not explicitly named in the provided search results, but Dr. Korbinian Nachtmann is mentioned as the Head of Energy Management at Munich Airport and is linked to energy-related activities such as the NetZERO Tour; the search results do not specify his direct role in the opening of the largest public electric vehicle charging station at Munich Airport.
The opening of Munich Airport's charging park is part of Bavaria's overall strategy to enhance its public charging infrastructure. As the number of electric vehicles on the road continues to grow, the need for accessible and reliable charging facilities becomes increasingly important. This new charging park at Munich Airport is a step towards meeting this demand and promoting sustainable transportation.
With the operational EV charging park at Munich Airport, Bavaria temporarily loses the title of the federal state with the most public charging points to North Rhine-Westphalia. However, with ongoing efforts to expand its public charging infrastructure, it remains to be seen whether Bavaria will regain its lead in the near future.
