Porsche opens eighth Charging Lounge
The charging site, which is located around 40km from Freiburg, features six fast-charging stations with a capacity of up to 400kW each. Porsche states that its fully electric models can maximise their fast-charging potential there, with a new-gen Taycan able to charge from 10 to 80 per cent in 18 minutes.
Like other Porsche Charging Lounges, the new Ringsheim site contains a comfortable lounge area with refreshments, snacks, coffee, bathrooms, and free Wi-Fi. Outside, there is also covered seating areas with built-in speakers.
Charging starts from €0.39 per kWh and can be paid for via the Porsche Charging Service Plus, which for €16.99 per month, enables Porsche drivers to charge for this price at both Charging Lounges and the charging locations of ‘preferred partners’ including Aral Pulse, Ionity, Audi, Porsche factories and Porsche dealerships. The tariff also permits customers to charge at €0.59 p/kWh at DC charging stations from other providers.
It’s important to note that the €0.39/kWh rate only applies to customers of the Porsche Charging Service Plus contract; if using the basic version, the Charging Lounge costs €0.49/kWh while roaming elsewhere costs €0.74/kWh.
Porsche recently added two new ‘Preferred Partners‘ to its Charging Service Plus plan, including 90 GOFAST charging hubs in Switzerland (CHF 0.39/kWh) and those of Fines Charging in Bulgaria. On its website, Porsche states that most of the partnerships are time-limited, such as with Aral Pulse which is scheduled to run until November 30 2025. The only partnership which is unlimited is with Ionity, of which Porsche is a shareholder.
