Aral accelerates ultra-fast charging expansion in Germany

They plan for 500 ultra-fast charging points at over 120 filling stations by the end of 2021.

Aral, bp’s market leading fuel retail brand in Germany, is expanding its ‎charging network of ultra-fast electric charging stations ‎–‎ operating under its new name ‘Aral pulse’ ‎–‎ faster than planned.

By the end of the year, Aral pulse will have 500 ultra-fast charging ‎points with a charging capacity of up to 350 kW each in operation at more than 120 Aral filling stations.

“Our e-offer is picking up speed. We will increase the number of our charging points fivefold this ‎year,” said Aral CEO Patrick Wendeler. “In view of the increasing demand for electric vehicles, the ‎time has come to accelerate the expansion of our charging infrastructure.”

Aral now unites all its e-mobility activities under the new name Aral pulse. The introduction of this ‎new brand underlines the importance of electric car charging for Aral’s future business.

“We want to provide the fastest and most convenient network of charging and, combined with our ‎high-quality services at our filling stations, we want to deliver exceptional customer experience and ‎innovative offers,” added Wendeler.

By the end of February, Aral will operate 100 ultra-fast charging points at 25 filling stations. They are ‎powered by 100% green energy and have a charging capacity of up to 300 or 350 kilowatts, depending ‎on the location.
