ClipperCreek has
retroactively extend-
ed the warranty on its
AmazingE brand of
residential charging
stations. The AmazingE
Level 2, 3.8 kW home
charging station will
now be covered for three
years from the date of
purchase regardless of
whether it was pur-
chased before or after
this announcement.
Clipper Creek Presi-
dent Jason France said,
“This product is in line
with ClipperCreek’s durability and quality standards and
the warranty should reflect that.”
“We stand behind our product regardless of who
installs it,” said Amanda Lance, Inside Sales Manager for
ClipperCreek and AmazingE. “Our charging stations
are made to be simple to use and easy to install. It is the
most affordable safety-certified charging station on the
market. The fact that it is UL Listed and comes with a
no-strings-attached ClipperCreek three-year warranty
makes the value even greater for our customers.”Volkswagen has
partnered with
the Lidl and
Kaufland super-
market chains to
install 140 public
charging stations
at 60 Lidl and
10 Kaufland
locations around
Berlin. VW says these 140 chargers will expand the pub-
lic charging infrastructure in the city by almost 20%.
VW is launching an electric car sharing service called
WeShare (see related article above), and the new chargers
will be exclusively available to the WeShare vehicle fleet
outside the supermarkets’ opening hours.
Volkswagen’s charging strategy is based on its assump-
tion that future EV drivers will do about 50% of their
charging at home, 20% at work, 5% along highways,
and no less than 25% in public spaces. VW is working
on home charging via its subsidiary Elli, and is working
towards the development of a fast charging network on
major European highways under the IONITY umbrella.
VW plans to install 70 charging stations in Berlin by- Each will have one DC fast charger with a power
rating of 50 kW, and one AC charger.
VW Board Member Christian Senger, said, “Super-
markets are the filling stations of the future. Charging
while you shop is an ideal solution. On average, just
45 minutes at a fast charging station is sufficient for an
e-Golf. This is the next consistent step by Volkswagen in
its efforts to provide area-wide coverage with charging
points in public spaces via partnership arrangements.”
