Charging, energy, service, sales and fleet – planned and operated by three partners, with one point of contact.
The high-power charging park in Heimertingen is being designed for e-trucks and other heavy commercial vehicles, with opening planned for 2027. Additional charge points will serve cars. The power will come from Heimertingen.
The Heimertingen charging park is being designed for three use cases: intermediate charging during the 45-minute driver break, topping up at the shift change when a truck runs two shifts, and overnight charging during the daily rest. For the short stops it is to deliver up to 1 MW per truck charge point.
Single shift
Two shifts
Intermediate charging
After 4.5 hours of driving at the latest, EU rules require a 45-minute break. During that time the truck should get as much power as possible. How much it actually takes depends on the vehicle.
Two-shift operation
When a truck runs two shifts, there is no long stop overnight. At the shift change it charges for about 1 to 1.5 hours before the next shift sets off. How much energy it takes in that time depends on the vehicle.
Overnight charging
During the daily rest of 9 to 11 hours a truck does not need megawatts. It charges at lower power over many hours while the driver rests.
The charging park gets a 5 MW grid connection for up to 12 truck charge points. Power cabinets with more than 1 MW are to distribute it as direct current to the dispensers: when only a few trucks charge during the day, each will get a lot of power. When several charge overnight, they share it over the long rest.
Individual charging tariffs for fleets are planned, depending on the charging power needed and the time of day.
How power, storage and charging park connectThe charging park is to draw solar power from the 30 MW solar farm about 300 m from the site, with battery storage as a buffer. Talk to us about when and where your fleet needs to charge.
Discuss your fleet's charging needs
The 30 MW solar park is 300 m from the pilot site. Solar farm, battery storage and charging park are to share one grid connection point – like solar panels and a battery at home, in the megawatt range. That way power can flow between producers and consumers.
One shared connection to the grid for generation, storage and consumption
Power cabinets with more than 1 MW distribute the power as direct current (DC) to the dispensers for MCS and CCS – up to 12 truck charge points.

Question not listed? Write to usA 5 MW grid connection for up to 12 truck charge points and up to 1 MW per truck charge point are planned. Power cabinets with more than 1 MW each are to distribute the energy as direct current (DC) to the dispensers, depending on how many trucks are charging. The charging park is in progress, with opening planned for 2027. Until then, charging in Heimertingen is not yet possible.
From the opening, planned for 2027: yes. Until then, charging in Heimertingen is not yet possible. The charging park is being designed for overnight charging: during the daily rest of 9 to 11 hours the truck charges at lower power; a rest area, food, a 24/7 kiosk and sanitary facilities are planned at the site.
From the opening, planned for 2027: yes. Until then, charging in Heimertingen is not yet possible. When a truck runs two shifts, it charges for about 1 to 1.5 hours at the shift change, with up to 1 MW per truck charge point. How much energy it takes in that time depends on the vehicle.

How much energy goes in during 45 minutes depends on the truck and its charging curve. The first series trucks for megawatt charging (MCS) charge at up to 750 kW; via CCS it is up to about 400 kW today. The dispensers in Heimertingen are to deliver up to 1 MW per truck charge point. EU rules require the 45-minute break after 4.5 hours of driving at the latest.
A power cabinet is the power electronics of a charging station, moved into a separate cabinet. From there, direct current (DC) runs to several slim dispensers. This lets the available power be shared flexibly – a lot per truck when only a few charge during the break, less per truck when several charge overnight. It also lets charging parks grow step by step. In Heimertingen, power cabinets with more than 1 MW are to supply the dispensers.
MCS (Megawatt Charging System) is the charging standard for heavy electric trucks, designed for charging power in the megawatt range. CCS (Combined Charging System) is today’s widespread fast-charging standard for cars and many electric commercial vehicles. The Heimertingen charging park will have dispensers for both standards.
From the 30 MW solar park about 300 m from the pilot site. Solar farm, battery storage and charging park are to share one grid connection point, so power can flow between generation, storage and charge points. The energy engineering comes from e-con AG, which plans, builds and operates energy installations.
Yes, from e-con AG: a fast-charging network for electric cars in the Allgäu – Swabia – Lake Constance region with up to 400 kW, also battery-buffered in rural areas (figures from e-con AG). These charge points are not designed for trucks; electric trucks are to charge at the Heimertingen charging park, with opening planned for 2027.
Truck-PowerDest is building its own service: mobile service technicians, its own workshop and a 24-hour service. The service is in development.
