German automotive manufacturer Rheinmetall has announced a pilot project with the City of Cologne and German electromobility services provider TankE to install curbstone charger infrastructure in public streets beginning this summer.
Rheinmetall says the goal is to integrate and test Rheinmetall curbstone chargers in two parts of the city for the purpose of assessing public acceptance and design features.
Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger says the company’s curbstone chargers “help to overcome a major hurdle in the transformation to greater e-mobility while blending almost invisibly into the urban landscape.”
