Refuelling in Germany is easy: choose the right petrol, insert the tap, fill up, pay, done. But how does it work with fast charging? Is it just as easy? Are there any problems? Or are there certain things that need to be taken into account? There is hardly any other area of electromobility where so much research is being carried out globally as in the interaction between charging systems and batteries.
New charging records are constantly being reported. That's why the topic of fast charging is fascinating. We talked to Matthias Vogt from ADAC, who presented us with the latest results of the ADAC test.

Matthias Vogt worked as a mechanical engineer in development and after-sales for a German car and commercial vehicle manufacturer for 14 years. He then switched to the consulting sector in 2013, where he first came into contact with electric cars and charging infrastructure. Since then, he has accompanied the ramp-up of electromobility and the charging infrastructure in various projects and also drives fully electric privately.
During this time, he was responsible for the ‘user perspective’ topic area in the accompanying research of the electric mobility showcases from 2014-2017. Since 2018, he has been contributing his experience from the automotive and e-mobility industry to ADAC e.V., where he promotes e-mobility topics from a consumer perspective, e.g. in the YouTube information series ‘ADAC Unter Strom - Einfach Elektromobilität’.
