MVV deploys 78 DC fast charge points across 27 Müller retail sites in Germany
By Eve
Mannheim utility MVV has installed 39 DC fast charging stations with 78 charge points at 27 Müller retail locations across Germany, using ADS-TEC Energy's battery buffered ChargePost systems rated at 250 to 300 kW. MVV now operates 250 charging stations with 480 charge points at 170 locations, having expanded from its Rhine-Neckar base since 2017. The ChargePost units include integrated batteries with up to 201 kWh of storage and 75 inch digital advertising screens.
Why it matters: The rollout demonstrates how utilities can scale retail site charging partnerships beyond their home regions, while battery buffered systems allow high power deployment where grid connections are constrained. The advertising screen integration offers a revenue model that may appeal to retail landlords evaluating charge point proposals.
