The brand with the four rings is opening another Audi charging hub in September 2023. Following Nuremberg, Zurich, Berlin, and Salzburg, the charging station in Munich’s Obersendling district will be the fifth for the brand.
“With what is now our fifth Audi charging hub, we are defining a new performance standard for charging in urban residential areas,” says Bastian Geretshauser, Audi charging hub Munich project manager.
Constant charging power at the station is ensured by so-called energy cubes. These cubes consist of used lithium-ion batteries from decommissioned Audi research vehicles that are given a second life as buffer storage in the charging units. As a result, an impressive energy capacity of 1.05 megawatt hours is achieved. Theoretically, this is enough to charge 60 cars without interruption before the charging capacity begins to slowly decline.

The new high-power charging hub is located in the south of Munich in a residential area with attractive shopping facilities, restaurants and cafés as well as sports and leisure facilities. As Bastian Geretshauser points out: “This Audi charging hub welcomes all vehicle brands.” However, the driver of an Audi has a discount. Depending on the contract, charging costs Audi drivers from 0.35 euros per kWh, and they can reserve one of the four charging points in advance on their smartphone via the myAudi app. Third-party users of the ad hoc charging option pay 0.50 euros per kWh either by credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.
