E.ON and the Danish Fleggaard Group are collaborating to install 36 new electric vehicle (EV) charging points at four border shopping locations in northern Germany, aiming to enhance public charging infrastructure along the German-Danish border.
The charging stations, which include both 150 kW and 400 kW DC fast chargers, will be located at Fleggaard and Calle border shops, catering to customers, commuters, and tourists traveling between the two countries.

The largest installation will be at the Harrislee Fleggaard shop near Flensburg, which will feature 16 chargers with up to 150 kW and four with up to 400 kW. Other sites include Süderlügum, Calle Krusau, and Fleggaard Krusau, offering additional charging points for EV users.
According to E.ON Drive Infrastructure, the initiative aligns with a survey indicating that over 55% of EV drivers expect charging facilities at supermarkets. The availability of fast chargers allows drivers to recharge their vehicles significantly during a typical shopping visit.

Jonas Johannsen, Finance Director at Fleggaard, emphasized the growing demand for EV charging among customers: “There is a significant increase in customers traveling with electric cars. We want to be one step ahead and are therefore very pleased with the partnership with E.ON Drive Infrastructure.”
Arjan van der Eijk, COO of E.ON Drive Infrastructure, noted the broader benefits: “We are convinced that not only Fleggaard’s regular customers will benefit from the new charging parks, but also electric car drivers who want to use the charging time for a good cup of coffee or a meal.”
