University of Kassel is cooperation partner of Rüsselsheim car manufacturer

A development center at Opel's headquarters in Rüsselsheim will become a real laboratory for electromobility: the automaker will conduct research there together with the University of Kassel and the two companies FLAVIA IT and PLUG'n CHARGE, which specialize in charging infrastructure, on the optimal design of the power grid of the future.

The three-year future project "E-Mobility-LAB Hessen" is to be supported by the Hessian Ministry of Economics, Energy, Transport and Regional Development with funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). To this end, the automaker is building an intelligent charging and infrastructure system for electric vehicles at its development center. Installation of the first charging points at the Opel site in Rüsselsheim and the test center in Rodgau-Dudenhofen will start in just a few months.

In total, more than 160 charging points will be created to charge the e-car fleet of the development center in the future. Based on real data, extensive and well-founded simulations of a variety of scenarios will be made possible. This ensures the transferability of the results. The concept was developed together with the think tank of the Hessian energy transition House of Energy.
