Urban hustle and bustle and the stress of everyday life can be energy-draining – both for electric vehicles and their drivers.

Audi charging hubs offer a refreshing solution to this problem, enabling users to recharge their own batteries while charging their vehicle. In addition to fastcharging, the innovative Cubes feature exclusive offers and attractive services. Some locations have lounges where users wait in comfort, or catch up with some work on the go – with wireless LAN and charging facilities for mobile devices, as well as bathrooms and vending machines offering a range of high-quality refreshments. What began as a pilot project in Nuremberg quickly developed into a successful concept. Impressed by the positive feedback and increased convenience for its customers, Audi expanded its charging hubs into Berlin, Bremen, Frankfurt, Munich, Salzburg and Zurich. The network continues to grow in 2025, with new locations throughout Germany ensuring that charging time is time well spent.

From the idea to implementation – the execution strategy as the key

Drees & Sommer worked with the Audi technical department to develop a concept for an inclusive execution strategy. This formed the basis of a call for tenders for a general planner, which resulted in the general planner being commissioned at the end of 2022. Since then, Drees & Sommer has been responsible for project control services, such as meeting preparation, conduct and follow-up, organization of planning workshops, preparation of project status reports, and updating of schedule and cost lists, as well as auditing of invoices and variations.
