Ionity installs fast-chargers at L’Osteria locations

“A first milestone in this collaboration was reached on Monday in Rosbach v. d. Höhe in the greater Frankfurt area,” the CPO states in the press release. The statement refers to the six new fast-charging stations, each with a charging capacity of up to 350 kW, which have now been connected to the grid in the car park of the L’Osteria branch in Carl-Benz-Straße, around 2.5 kilometres from the busy A5.

“This partnership allows our guests to charge up twice,” says Wolfgang Göbel, franchisee and responsible for L’Osteria Rosbach vor der Höhe and the restaurants in Limburg and Wetzlar. “These strategically placed charging stations help to increase the acceptance of electric mobility and are the ideal response to the growing demand for fast-charging infrastructure in urban centres,” adds Maximilian Teufl, Network Developer for the DACH region at Ionity.

However, this is not the first time Ionity has installed its fast-charging stations at L’Osteria locations. There have been charging parks at branches of the restaurant chain in Bruchsal, Bornheim, Marl, Castrop-Rauxel, and Bernau am Chiemsee for some time now. Rosbach v. d. Höhe is a new location.

Further locations are planned along the A5 and A8 motorways in North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, as well as in more urban areas by the end of the first half of 2025. In total, charging parks will be built at 15 L’Osteria locations in Germany and Austria. The exact locations are not specified. However, the CPO did confirm that the existing locations are already included in the total.

What is clear, however, is that the partnership is intended to help Ionity achieve further growth. According to the joint venture, it currently offers a total of more than 4,500 charging points at around 730 locations across Europe. Exactly one year ago, there were still around 600 locations with around 3,400 charging points.
