KGAL and Pfalzwerke AG collaborate to offer fast-charging EV columns at the “Das Waibl” specialist retail park in Waiblingen

A total of 18 new fast-charging columns have been connected to the grid at the "Das Waibl" retail park near Stuttgart. KGAL has concluded corresponding lease agreements for the specialist retail park through one of its special real estate funds with PFALZWERKE AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, among others. The companies are therefore making an active contribution to the expansion of e-mobility in Germany and offering customers and residents a convenient way to combine shopping and EV charging.

"The first-time conclusion of such a cooperation is a great success for our active asset management. Through this collaboration we are meeting two strategic objectives simultaneously - on the one hand, we are improving the shopping experience, and on the other, we are making a concrete contribution to decarbonisation," emphasises Peter Windmeißer, Head of Portfolio Management Real Estate at KGAL Investment Management.

Pfalzwerke focuses on so-called Hypercharger charging stations with more than 300 kW of power, which can be used to recharge more than 300 kilometres of range within 20 minutes. The fast-charging stations are supplemented by normal charging stations. Nationwide, Pfalzwerke is one of the top five providers of charging infrastructure. A total of six charging stations (three Hypercharger and three normal charging stations) from Pfalzwerke are now available to customers of the "Waibl". In addition, 12 Superchargers from the US automotive and energy company Tesla have also been connected to the grid.
