Ion charging station.

German car companies want to improve the charging network for electric vehicles, but they can’t. The status quo is so bad that Volkswagen bosses have recently felt very frustrated about starting their own company.
DThe charging station in Trento, northern Italy, is located on the A 22 Brenner highway, which is obviously a desolate place. If you Google for pictures on the Internet, you will see a dirty backyard parking lot with many charging stations. Long-distance travelers who want to charge their electric cars on the road south must leave the highway because the gas station is not directly on the Brenner route, but in an industrial park on the outskirts of Trento. The operator of the dull electric tank is called Ionity, a joint venture between German and international car manufacturers.
A well-known customer recently drove his electric car to Trento-disaster happened: Volkswagen boss Herbert Diess I saw the performance of the Verdi opera jester at the Bregenz Music Festival on Lake Constance, and now I want to continue to Lake Garda. The car manager rides in a light blue electric car with the internal model VW ID.3 and must be charged. But what he found in Trento made him jump up: “No toilets, no coffee, a mess/defect, sad things. This is by no means a quality charging experience, Ionity!” Diess on social media Wrote angrily in a post. That sits.
