Baden-Württemberg police has gone live with ADS-TEC Energy's ChargePost for battery-buffered fast charging of EVs

At the launch, Thomas Strobl, Deputy Minister-President and Minister of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg, said, "We are one of the safest regions in Germany, and we believe in investment to continue our success. This includes the largest recruitment drive in our history and the latest technologies - including this project. What makes this ADS-TEC Energy solution special is its integrated battery storage, which enables EV charging at high power even at locations with limited grid capacity. This allows us to stress test EVs in real motorway conditions."

Strobl added "This project represents the next phase in a journey that we started 15 years ago. Around 630 – roughly 12% – of our 5,400 police vehicles are already electric and the Pforzheim traffic police unit will now put the new fast charging system and EVs through their paces as we set the course for future-proofed policing."

"Charging infrastructure is critical infrastructure – especially when emergency vehicles must be available around the clock," said Thomas Speidel, CEO of ADS-TEC Energy. "Our systems are developed and manufactured in Germany and meet high standards in cyber security, operational safety and resilience. With our many years of experience in battery-buffered fast charging, we are the ideal partner for demanding public sector use cases. We greatly value our partnership with the Baden-Württemberg police and are proud to support the motorway police in their daily operations."

The Pforzheim traffic police unit is responsible for one of the busiest sections of motorway in Germany, putting pressure on vehicle availability and charging speeds. ADS-TEC Energy's battery-buffered fast-charging system delivers ultra-fast charging even at locations with limited grid capacity, eliminating the need for time-consuming and costly grid upgrades. ChargePost features an integrated battery capacity of 201 kWh in a very compact footprint and delivers charging power of up to 300 kW, or 2 × 150 kW when charging two EVs simultaneously.

Designed for critical infrastructure – Made in Germany

ADS-TEC Energy ChargePost was developed in Baden-Württemberg with production in Germany. It is designed to support the highest levels of IT security, data sovereignty and reliability. The combination of a local battery, intelligent control technology and high charging power ensures reliable and resilient operations, even in demanding environments.
