EnBW's HPC charging network is also growing in the east. The new locations with expansion potential are due to go into operation in the summer.

EnBW is keeping up the pace of expansion for fast-charging parks. Following the opening of 16 covered fast-charging points on the A3 between Regensburg and Passau in Hengersberg in April and in Marktschorgast near the A9 motorway on 7 May, ground has now been broken for two further charging parks in Saxony and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

These locations are also being built close to the highway: In Klipphausen (Saxony) there is a connection to the A4 via the Wilsdruff junction and in Dummerstorf (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) there is a connection to the A20 via the Dummerstorf junction. Germany's largest fast-charging network operator plans to have the 32 new HPC charging points ready by the summer: There will be 20 in Klipphausen and twelve in Dummerstorf.

The charging points have an output of up to 400 kW and are powered exclusively by green electricity. At least in Dummerstorf, this comes in part from the solar roof of the facility, where a PV system with 18.75 kWp has been integrated. Both locations are covered, and customers in Klipphausen can also use a toilet.

According to EnBW, both charging parks can be "expanded as required". In Klipphausen, the capacity could be doubled by 20 additional charging points, while in Dummerstorf it could be increased by half again to 18.

According to Volker Rimpler, Chief Technology Officer E-mobility at EnBW, the construction starts send a "strong signal for the mobility turnaround and e-mobility suitable for everyday use". The two high-speed parks would become "fixed points in long-distance transport in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Saxony".

EnBW currently operates 6,000 fast-charging points in Germany and intends to continuously expand its network. According to its strategic growth plans, the energy company aims to have more than 20,000 fast-charging points in Germany by 2030.
