Electronic taxi charging infrastructure currently being developed
Lübeck Taxis and Rental Cars Embrace Electric Future
The taxi and rental car industry in Lübeck is backing the expansion of charging stations for electric vehicles, with suitable locations found near high-frequency areas such as the main station. This move is part of a larger initiative to promote climate-friendly drives in the city.
From 2035, taxis and rental cars in the state of Schleswig-Holstein will only be eligible for registration if they are emission-free. In line with this, the Stadtwerke Lübeck has recently put into operation the first exclusive charging stations for electric taxis and rental cars at the main station, Huxterdam, and Osterweide. Another charging station in Ziegelstraße is expected to follow by the end of the year.
These charging stations enable high-power charging with up to 150 kilowatts of power, providing drivers of electric taxis and rental cars with attractive conditions. The charging points can be accessed via an app or charging card.
Dr. Jens Meier, Managing Director of Stadtwerke Lübeck, stated that they are creating the conditions for the switch to electric drives and making an important contribution to achieving climate goals. Holmer Zähle, taxi spokesman, shares this sentiment, expressing hope for an increasing number of electric taxis and a growing network of charging stations in the future.
Mayor Jan Lindenau emphasized that by proactively building charging infrastructure, they are creating planning security for the realtor and rental car industry. The Hanseatic City of Lübeck has also implemented a budget-related resolution to support this initiative.
The goal is to improve air quality, reduce noise pollution, and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Lübeck. With the expansion of charging stations and the gradual transition to electric vehicles, the city is taking a significant step towards achieving these goals.
As the names of the companies in the taxi and rental car sector in Lübeck that have already started using the new charging stations for electric vehicles are not explicitly mentioned in the available sources, it remains to be seen which companies will lead the way in this transition. However, the charging stations were established by Stadtwerke Lübeck exclusively for e-taxis and e-rental cars to promote their use.
In conclusion, the taxi and rental car industry in Lübeck is embracing the electric future, with the city providing the necessary infrastructure to support this transition. This move not only benefits the environment but also offers attractive conditions for drivers of electric vehicles, making it a win-win situation for all parties involved.
