Hanover, 10 December 2021: CTEK, the leading global brand in vehicle charging solutions is pleased to announce that its Chargestorm Connected 2 (CC2) Electrical Vehicle (EV) charger has been officially approved by the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW), and is now has added to its list of subsidised charging stations. Companies, freelancers and non-profit organisations can apply for a subsidy from this funding. The KfW subsidy can be used to purchase and install the CC2 solution at parking spaces that are not publicly accessible, with up to 900 euros available per charging point. Employees can charge their company and private vehicles at these stations.
Eligible are new charging stations with up to 22 kW charging power. Designed for use with electric and plugin hybrid vehicles, the Chargestorm Connected 2 is packed with a range of functions and built in safety features. It can supplied as a single or dual outlet unit, with the latter charging up to two cars and therefore eligible for double the subsidy of up to 1,800 euros.
Cecilia Routledge, Global Director Energy & Facilities at CTEK said “This KfW approval is an important part of our entry into the German market and we are proud to be playing our part in driving the expansion of EV charging points throughout Germany.“
The number of registered electric cars in Germany will increase in the coming years: Cecilia continued, "The report of the 'National Platform for the Future of Mobility' predicts that by 2030 around 80 percent of all newly registered vehicles will be electric vehicles. In order to achieve this goal, the number of charging points throughout Germany must be significantly increased. In this context, the nationwide expansion of the charging network at destinations such as workplaces and supermarkets is crucial to pave the way for e-mobility. Businesses, property owners, electricians and wholesalers play an important role in this development."
