ADS-TEC Energy and MVV to Deploy Fast-charging Solutions at Retail Group Müller Locations Across Germany
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250701601908/en/
Over 30 ADS-TEC Energy battery-buffered fast-charging EV solutions will be installed at Müller branches across Germany by MVV
A compelling solution for drugstore locations
As part of the project, the retail group Müller is providing the locations for EV charging. The company operates a total of around 950 stores in eight countries across Europe, the majority of which are in Germany. ADS-TEC Energy's innovative, battery-based fast-charging systems enable ultra-fast charging even where grid capacity is limited. This not only fulfills the legal obligation under the German Act on Electric Mobility Infrastructure in Buildings (German: Gebäude-Elektromobilitätsinfrastruktur-Gesetz, GEIG) at Müller locations, but also creates a future-proof and convenient charging option for customers. With charging capacities of up to 320 kW, ADS-TEC Energy's charging stations offer ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles (EVs) in a matter of minutes for customer convenience.
Implementation and operation by MVV
MVV is responsible for the complete financing, construction and operation of the charging infrastructure as well as the associated customer service. "We at MVV have been driving forward the mobility transformation since 2018. We are gradually expanding the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles throughout the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region and beyond. We now operate over 156 locations with more than 440 charging points," explains Ralf Klöpfer, Chief Sales Officer at MVV. "Through our partnership with ADS-TEC Energy and Müller, we are bringing innovative fast-charging solutions directly to retail locations and enabling our customers to charge their electric vehicles while they shop. This saves time, protects the environment and makes sustainable mobility even more attractive."
A first: ADS-TEC Energy manages the marketing of DOOH advertising space
In another first, ADS-TEC Energy is managing the marketing of the digital advertising spaces (Digital Out-of-Home, DOOH). The ChargePost systems have high-resolution 75-inch screens, which are ideal for targeted advertising at busy locations.
GEIG-compliant and an attractive economic proposition
By executing this project, the retail group Müller is fulfilling GEIG requirements, which mandate the expansion of charging infrastructure at buildings. Furthermore, this deployment ensures that customers have access to convenient, high-performance fast-charging solution. The combination of high-performance charging systems and digital advertising spaces creates a sustainable, future-proof infrastructure with an economic added value.
'The roll-out of an efficient charging infrastructure requires innovative approaches that go beyond mere EV charging. Our battery-based fast charging solutions enable ultra-fast charging even at locations with limited grid capacity. We are excited to work with our partner MVV to implement a sustainable and future-proof solution for Müller locations,' says Michael Rudloff, COO of ADS-TEC Energy.

Premarket: World markets climb after a rally for Apple leads Wall Street higher
World shares mostly advanced and financial markets appeared to show scant if any reaction to President Donald Trump's higher tariffs on exports to the United States that took effect early Thursday. In early European trading, Germany's DAX rose 0.9% to 24,137.51. In Paris, the CAC 40 added 0.8% to 7,693.36, while Britain's FTSE 100 shed 0.3% to 9,138.96. The future for S&P 500 edged 0.5% higher while that for Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.3%. In Asian trading, Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 added 0.7% to 41,059.15. Hong Kong's Hang Seng climbed 0.7% to 25,081.63, and the Shanghai Composite added 0.2% to 3,639.67. China reported that its exports picked up in July, helped by a flurry of shipments by businesses taking advantage of a pause in Trump's tariff war with Beijing. South Korea's Kospi rose 0.9% to 3,227.68, while the S&P/ASX 200 in Australia shed 0.1% to 8,831.40. India's Sensex gave up 0.8% after Trump ordered tariffs on imports from the world's most populous nation to rise to 50%, citing its crude oil imports from Russia. Trump also declared 100% tariffs on computer chips with an exemption for U.S. investments. Apple's shares rose 5.1% on Wednesday ahead of a White House event where it announced an increase to its U.S. investments of an additional $100 billion over the next four years. Mizuho Bank, in a commentary, said the Trump's exemption from 100% tariffs on semiconductors for those with investments in U.S. production means some U.S. trading partners may be able to use their investments in the U.S. as a bargaining chip. Taiwan's Taiex jumped 2.4% as shares in market heavyweight Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. surged 4.9%. TSMC is the world's largest contract maker of computer chips and it has been ramping up its investments in U.S. factory capacity, helping to alleviate the impact from higher tariffs. South Korean chipmakers also saw strong gains, with Samsung Electronics jumping 2.5% after the government said its products would also be subject to the exemption. On Wednesday, a rally for Apple led Wall Street higher, with U.S. stocks reclaiming more of their sharp losses from last week. The S&P 500 rose 0.7% and the Dow added 0.2%. The Nasdaq composite climbed 1.2%. Apple alone accounted for more than a third of the S&P 500's gain. Trading elsewhere on Wall Street was mixed following a jumble of profit reports. McDonald's and Shopify rose following their latest updates, while Super Micro Computer tumbled after its earnings and revenue came in below analysts' expectations. The Walt Disney Co. fell after its earnings beat forecasts but its revenue fell short Worries are still high that Trump's tariffs may be hurting the economy, but hopes for coming cuts to interest rates by the Federal Reserve and a parade of stronger-than-expected profit reports from U.S. companies have helped steady the market. In other dealings early Thursday, benchmark U.S. crude gained 19 cents to $64.54 a barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, added 25 cents to $67.14 a barrel. The U.S. dollar slipped to 147.10 Japanese yen from 147.36 yen. The euro cost $1.1678 up from $1.1661. The Associated Press
