Press Release

Braunschweig, March 11, 2026. Volkswagen Financial Services (VWFS) are continuing the massive expansion of their charging infrastructure at the Braunschweig campus. On March 10, a further 100 charging points were connected at the site, adding to the existing 270 stations already in place. A notable feature is that all the new charging points draw their electricity to 100 percent from renewable sources and thus contribute to the further sustainable electrification of the city of Braunschweig. The official inauguration was attended by VWFS CEO Anthony Bandmann, Chief Representative for Human Resources and Organization Arne Puls, VWFS Works Council Chair Andreas Krauß, Braunschweig's Mayor Dr. Thorsten Kornblum and its Economic Affairs Director Gerold Leppa.

The new charging points are predominantly designed with a 2x11 kW power output. Importantly, of the new total of 370 charging points on the campus, 52 are publicly accessible for visitors.

Arne Puls, Chief Representative for Human Resources and Organization at Volkswagen Financial Services AG, expressed the following conviction: "More and more of our employees are driving electric – whether in their private or company cars. Workplace charging is one of the many keys to fostering widespread electromobility. As an automotive financial services provider and as an attractive employer, we have a special responsibility for building sustainable charging infrastructure, especially here at our headquarters in Braunschweig."

Dr. Thorsten Kornblum stressed the significance for Braunschweig: "The comprehensive provision of charging infrastructure is a crucial prerequisite for electric mobility to become established here in Braunschweig as well. E-mobility makes an important contribution to achieving the goals of our Integrated Climate Protection Concept. I am pleased that companies like Volkswagen Financial Services are also taking responsibility for the transition to more environmentally compatible mobility and thus supporting the public expansion of charging infrastructure."

Works Council Chair Andreas Krauß pointed out: "More and more colleagues are switching to electric vehicles, and being able to charge at the workplace is an important factor for many in integrating electric mobility into their everyday lives. We, the Works Council, have therefore pushed to increase the number of charging stations at our campus in Braunschweig and are now delighted that 100 new charging points are going into operation."

With 370 charging points, the VWFS campus boasts the largest privately-operated charging infrastructure in Braunschweig. The planning, tendering and implementation of the expansion measure were carried out by Volkswagen Immobilien, Volkswagen's real estate company. The VW subsidiary Elli, a specialist in energy and charging solutions, is responsible for supplying the charging hardware and will now also take care of maintenance and repairs.
