‘First we take Rüsselsheim, then we take Berlin’.
It seems to be the reasoning behind the Opel, which in these months are grappling with the really big plans for how they can transform themselves into a true specialist in electric cars.
In november seemed the German car manufacturer, which is owned by French Groupe PSA, the leak out, that it is from 2024 to be the end of to sell new cars without a power connector. And now Opel will have its hometown of Rüsselsheim in the land of Hessen, to be the home of the world’s densest concentration of charging points for electric cars.
It writes the Opel in a press release.
No fewer than 1,300 charging points will be built in the southern German city, with its almost 65,000 marine inhabitants are the size of Randers.
Of the 1300 charging points come the 400 to be placed on private land, the majority of which is owned by Opel. According to the car manufacturer, there will be one public ladestander for every 72 residents in Rüsselsheim.
For comparison, Hamburg, which is Germany’s leading city in the area, 785 publicly accessible recharging points for its 1.8 million inhabitants, while Berlin (743), Munich (392), Stuttgart (382), and Düsseldorf (209) have fewer yet.

the Project runs up in a price of 95,6 million dollars, and the 1300 charging points is expected to be ready for charging in the course of 2020.
