Each station would be at least 75kW and some would be able to deliver 150kW.
High power charging stations significantly reduce the time needed to charge an electric vehicle and Porsche plans to launch such vehicles, capable of being recharged at 75-150kW, starting this year.
The target is to fully recharge electric cars with high capacity batteries in less than an hour.
Volkswagen will actually be the first of the local Porsche group's brands to install charging stations. Twenty-four 75kW chargers will be installed by the end of 2019.
