Volkswagen’s Electrify America is buying and installing Tesla Powerpacks at “more than 100” of its charging stations to help during peak charging times, the company announced on Monday. The Powerpacks, which will be installed over the course of 2019, will have 350kWh of capacity and be capable of 210kW fast-charging.
The addition of Tesla’s battery storage units to VW’s fast-growing EV charging network is a sign that automakers will need to work together to build out the infrastructure needed to support the mass adoption of electric vehicles. Tesla laid the groundwork with its Supercharger network, and other car companies with aspirations of electrified lineups are still playing catch-up.
