Schwarz Gruppe Expands E-Charging Network

The Schwarz Gruppe, the owner of retailers Kaufland and Lidl, is set to expand its network of e-charging stations across Europe.

The move will see the company add approximately 6,200 e-charging points by the end of its 2022 financial year.

This will result in a total of around 13,000 e-charging points across Schwarz Gruppe’s retail network.

The expansion project will see the group draw on its many years of experience in this area, while relying on its newly developed e-charging stations with fast charging technology (DC).

Its latest generation of charging stations are characterised by two powerful DC charging points and another AC charging point.

By March 2023, Lidl plans to equip almost a third of its more than 3,200 branches in Germany with charging options for electric vehicles.
