The most rewarding part of my job is working with great mobility partners who genuinely want to support their customers in the transition to Electric Vehicles. It’s clear, home charging is a massive enabler for Electric Vehicles, the ability to off-street charge overnight at your house significantly reduces the cost and increases convenience. It’s great to see Volkswagen Group UK Ltd Retail partners like Alan Day Group create customer collateral like this that helps simplify the steps, to make the transition even easier for customers. A big thanks from Ohme to Paul Tanner and Des Rodgers

Noodoe and Audi Create Successful Program in Taiwan With Audi e-tron; Program Provides Audi e-tron Owners EV Charging Network, Covering Home/Public/Car Dealerships

Noodoe, a global leader in EV charging technology, has partnered with automaker Audi to establish EV charging networks throughout Taiwan using advanced Noodoe EV OS network platform. The announcement was made by Noodoe CEO, Jennifer Chang. Noodoe is confident its model for ubiquitous EV charging options developed for Audi e-tron will quickly become the defacto standard for EV charging network development worldwide.

IRVINE, CALIF., JULY 21, 2020

oodoe, a global leader in EV charging technology, has partnered with automaker Audi to establish EV charging networks throughout Taiwan using advanced Noodoe EV OS network platform. The announcement was made by Noodoe CEO, Jennifer Chang. Noodoe is confident its model for ubiquitous EV charging options developed for Audi e-tron will quickly become the defacto standard for EV charging network development worldwide.

“Charging an electric vehicle should be as easy and accessible as charging your smartphone,” says Chang. “Audi and Noodoe EV are working together to create a comprehensive network charging program, from home charging to public charging and dealership network charging. We hope to apply the same program in the US to transform all our cities into EV friendly communities.”

The objective of Noodoe EV and Audi’s partnership is to foster a ubiquitous, comprehensive offering of EV charging solutions for Audi e-tron owners. At its heart is Audi’s Charging Network powered by Noodoe EV OS, a system easy on the consumer, while offering total automated functionality for the owner. Noodoe EV OS is one of the most advanced Cloud-based operating platforms today. It is the central “brain” that runs all the charging stations in the entire charging infrastructure.

What makes Noodoe EV OS different is the core technology that empowers “extreme automation”, enabling operators to achieve the lowest possible operating cost. Controlling and running all EV charging stations, Noodoe EV OS fully automates everything – 24/7 charging service delivery, automatic peak-hour price adjustment, automatic transaction billing, automatic payment processing, automatic bank transfer, automatic infrastructure diagnostics, and intelligent energy management. It’s so automated that the network operators can practically generate revenue automatically and continuously.

“The idea for this program is to reward Audi EV customers by making it easy for them to charge wherever it’s most convenient,” says Chang. “When they get home, they can charge immediately. Out on the town, our Noodoe app finds EV drivers the closest public charging station. Dealership groups can also be networked via Noodoe EV OS to become one holistic charging group for their customers. Many large dealership groups can offer EV charging service as a customer loyalty award. The idea is for EV owners to plug in and recharge when needed.”

Audi Launches First Electric Vehicle Charging Hub in Austria, Strengthening Its Global Infrastructure

Audi continues its global expansion by unveiling a high-performing, customer-friendly charging hub in Salzburg, Austria. The hub, known for its unique infrastructure and accessibility, boosts the local EV charging network while enhancing the e-mobility experience for all users.

What’s Happening

Audi has inaugurated its first electric vehicle (EV) charging hub in Austria, marking a significant milestone in its global expansion. Following the successful rollout of hubs in Nuremberg, Berlin, and Zurich, the latest Salzburg location will provide a premium quick-charging station to the brand’s customer base. The hub’s location next to MOONCITY, Salzburg’s competence and experience center for new and electric mobility, will ensure an enhanced and seamless charging experience for customers.

Why It Matters

Audi’s expansion of its charging infrastructure is a strategic step in advancing the success of e-mobility in Europe and globally. As stated by Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, this initiative is a crucial task for both politics and the industry. The brand’s innovative charging hubs supplement the public charging infrastructure, ensuring reliable and quick charging for EVs in high-demand urban areas.

The Salzburg Audi charging hub stands out with its unique “charging cubes” concept, modular containers housing refurbished lithium-ion batteries from disassembled Audi development vehicles. These ‘second-life’ batteries significantly reduce the strain on the local grid capacity and do not require elaborate infrastructure, making it a sustainable and efficient solution.

This charging hub boasts four charging points, each offering a high output of up to 320 kW, even when all are in use simultaneously. The hub is designed to ensure barrier-free accessibility, with easy-to-use payment systems, adaptive charging cables, and spacious dimensions for a seamless charging experience.

Bottom Line

Audi’s charging hubs cater to all EV drivers, regardless of the make of their vehicle, provided it is equipped with a CCS charging port. Audi customers can reserve charging slots via the myAudi app, ensuring a no-wait charging experience. Figures from Nuremberg and Zurich showcase the high adoption rate of this urban quick-charging concept, reinforcing Audi’s confidence in the successful continuation of this initiative in Salzburg.

Audi’s partnership with MOON POWER for project management, purchasing electricity, and running the billing system ensures smooth operations. With this successful launch, Audi continues to pave the way for accessible, efficient, and premium e-mobility solutions.

How charging networks are evolving to keep up with Australian EV drivers

Australia is a vast nation of long highways and rugged country. But most of us live our lives close to home. We drive to a morning coffee, a school drop-off, or work.

As the electric vehicle (EV) market in Australia has evolved, so has our understanding of how we use this technology. Most Australians live in urban centres near the coast. And while we may have imagined driving hundreds of kilometres a day, in reality we’re surrounded by infrastructure that exists or is being built to suit the way we actually move.

Fast charging makes it easy to keep moving

Early charging stations used older technology that delivered a slower charge, called level 1 or “slow trickle” charging. To fully juice an EV could take a number of hours.

These days, charging networks such as Chargefox and Jolt provide stations that use level 3 Rapid charging, which can deliver a much faster charge, taking some EVs from almost empty to 80% charged in less than half an hour. That makes it viable to stop for a quick boost on a hectic day running around town.

Michael Selden is head of sales and platforms at Jolt, a free and fast-charging network that is expanding across Australia.

“We see the role Jolt plays being for drivers to come in and get a quick, free top-up charge,” he says. “We give out 7 kWh of free energy to drivers each day, which covers the average daily needs of Australians. We’re helping with that daily use, so people work it into their habitual movements, stop somewhere convenient during their day-to-day routine, and charge. Jolt has already delivered more than 3.5 million kilometres of driving range to Australian drivers to date.”

Most charging happens at home – but city dwellers need greater access

About 70% of Australians live in houses with off-street parking. That means the majority of us have access to home charging: we can plug in our car overnight and know it will be ready to go in the morning.

To cater for the other 30% of Australians, more public charging stations are being installed. Selden says a significant part of Jolt’s plan is to grow its network in areas with more apartment living, where drivers need alternatives.

“Those people rely more heavily on public charging infrastructure,” he says. Jolt focuses on what it calls “cultural hubs” in urban areas: “Places that people will travel to multiple times a week,” Selden says. “We’re targeting our chargers to be installed so people can stop in, then go about their daily needs while their car is getting a charge.”

Australians have historically named range anxiety as a key barrier to buying an EV, but that’s changing. Jeff Mannering, director of Audi Australia, says the conversation is moving on to how quickly and efficiently the charging can happen.

While the FOCUS is often on charging technology, such as level 3 charging, there is another factor to consider: different batteries can take different amounts of charge. The higher the rate, the faster it all happens.

“An Audi e-tron can take up to 270 kilowatts of charge,” Mannering says. “It means you can charge from 5% to about 80% in under 25 minutes.”

The e-tron also has fluid-cooled battery technology, which allows the vehicle to be prepared for charging while still on the road.

EV manufacturers are putting their own stamp on charging networks. Audi has developed a partnership with charging network Chargefox, allowing the manufacturer to offer free charging with every new EV purchased. As well as having access to fast charging stations at Audi dealerships, new Audi owners get an Audi-Chargefox membership that provides up to six years of free charging for their new car.

It’s a strategy that Jolt supports. “In the early days of EV uptake,” Selden says, “it’s been important for OEMs [original equipment manufacturers], the likes of Audi, to have these partnerships to help give confidence in the charging that’s available.”

Governments are working to support infrastructure

The Rapid rollout of chargers must move even faster if the Australian EV market is to hit its targets, Selden says. “People understand the benefits of EVs being zero emissions or low emissions technologies,” he says.

The federal government recently launched its National Electric Vehicle Strategy, a roadmap towards increasing EV uptake by removing barriers including insufficient infrastructure. Mannering says a strategic shift in infrastructure can help Australia keep up with the rest of the world.

“Transport is one of the biggest contributors to CO2 emissions,” he says. “The mind shift of the government is heading back towards the Paris accord and highlighting that the environment is an extremely important topic.”

The UK has ruled that new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles cannot be sold after 2030, and Mannering believes Australia will more than likely follow suit with similar regulations. For its part, Audi says it will launch its last new ICE vehicle in 2026, and produce only full-electric vehicles from 2033. “The industry is in transition to electric,” Mannering says.

Selden is confident the continued growth of charging networks will help Australians feel good about switching to an EV.

Charge point operators are playing a part in giving Australians confidence,” he says. “They can drop in without that fear of being stuck somewhere or running out of power. We’re giving them somewhere just to juice up their battery and keep moving.”
