Volkswagen AG says dozens of the electric-car charging stations it is installing in the U.S. will use Tesla Inc. storage batteries.
VW’s Electrify America network is building 350 kW fast-charge sites in 17 metro areas and 42 states. More than 100 of the facilities will add a Tesla 210-kw Powerpack storage battery system.
The direct-current sites will use the Tesla batteries to support high-power charging and reduce operating costs by storing electricity collected from the grid during low-demand periods.
The Electrify America stations can charge properly equipped EVs at a rate equivalent to 20 miles of range per minute. The $2 billion network, which will take 10 years to develop, is part of VW’s settlement stemming from the company’s diesel emission cheating scandal.
