Porsche and Audi sign premium charging alliance
"Conclusion of Premium Charging Alliance" by Porsche and Audi announced today on April 19, 2022.
★postscript★
On June 30, 2022, it was stated that "the start of use of the Premium Charging Alliance will be postponed until the fall of 2022 in order to ensure the provision of services."The announcement is official..
Simply put, Porsche and Audi owners are now able to use the quick chargers that both Porsche and Audi have installed, respectively.
Mutually available from 1st July 2022
Owners of Porsche and Audi electric vehicle (BEV) models will be able to use the ChadeMO standard quick chargers installed in Porsche and Audi, each with a maximum output of 150kW.
Currently, 50 Porsche and 52 Audi have been installed in Japan (the number installed as of the end of December 2022), so for the time being, Porsche and Audi's electric vehicle owners are 102 in total nationwide. It will be possible to use the original CHAdeMO quick charging facility.
For each owner, it seems that the charging place suddenly doubles nationwide, so this may be convenient for many people ^ ^
By the way, the CHAdeMO quick charger, which is said to eventually reach 150kW, has overcome various regulations (?) And will finally reach 150kW in the summer of 2022. However, I still don't know at this point.
Until then, 90kW.
Even so, one photo from this alliance press release.
Is it okay to say it while thinking that it seems scary to receive a message from Porsche Japan & Audi Japan?
This is a picture of the composition that the presidents of both companies are trying to charge CHAdeMO, but to me this picture can only be seen as this.
That is this.
Already, it completely matches the cake sword in me (laughs)! ↓
I'm sorry, no, I think it's good that there is a sense of friendship and alliance.
If I own a Taycan, it would be possible to go to a nearby Audi to charge the Taycan.
While charging there, I became friends with Audi's sales staff, and it seems that there is a development that the story goes on and the next step is to purchase e-Tron.
Of course, it is like each other, and I think that Porsche may be wanted while the Audi owner is charging with Porsche.
It is good because both manufacturers can expand the range of customers while maintaining a good relationship with each other, and can provide a more convenient environment for the owners of both manufacturers ^ ^
