Charging an electric car is not a very exciting pastime. Audi is trying to make this time more pleasant with a charger with a really varied background.

Our experiences from electric car charging stations usually look like we come to a stand, put juice in the car and at best we go to the nearest gas station or shopping center, in the worst we spend a few tens of minutes in the car, or we shorten the time by walking around Surroundings.

Audi is trying to take the charging experience to the next level. It represents a luxurious rechargeable mushroom, not unlike airport lounges, where waiting for the necessary kilowatt hours should be a bit more pleasant. The first such center is located in Nuremberg, Germany, about 140 kilometers from our border, and officially opens on December 23 this year.

The charging destination allows, among other things, to book one of the six charging stations for a given time via the application in the smartphone. The lounge has an area of 200 square meters and attracts with its luxurious and elegant environment, as well as an open terrace or 98-inch screen, where you can see current data on car charging, or view hot news in the Audi configurator.
Of course, there is also refreshments, you can use the vending machine or delivery services. The hub also includes an exchange station for e-bike batteries, an electric scooter rental and, last but not least, the possibility of test runs with the Audi Q4 e-tron and RS e-tron GT models.

Although not obvious at first glance, the station is constructed of flexible “container cubes” that allow the station to be assembled and disassembled in a matter of days. The facilities also include second-hand batteries, ie coming from obsolete electric cars. The individual chargers then manage to “feed” the electric car with an output of up to 320 kW.
