Free e-car charging points coupled with power contract
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
German renewable power company sonnen has said it will offer e-car charging infrastructure free of charge with flat rate electricity contracts to customers switching to the provider, reports Henning Peitsmeier in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. “We want to integrate as many e-cars as possible into our virtual power plant,” said sonnen’s Managing Director Philipp Schröder. Car batteries used as storage devices can help balance out volatile power feed-in from renewable energy facilities.
