How the Rapid Charger Works:
Sustainable Charging
me energy produces Rapid Chargers that can charge up to 200 km of range in just 15 minutes. The stations do not require a connection to the power grid because they generate their own electricity from sustainable fuel.
Without any location requirements, it is now possible to recharge electric vehicles easily and conveniently - anytime and anywhere.
Off-Grid EV Charging
The Rapid Charger 150 provides fast, off-grid charging without connecting to the electrical grid.
Flexible
Off-Grid and Mobile
Rapid Chargers do not require a power grid connection, which means the system is ready for use at any time and any desired location. Relocation is possible at short notice, and you can tailor the world's first mobile charging station to your needs. Make adjustments as your plans or fleet change. The financing options not only offer maximum flexibility in usage but also in renting, leasing, or buying our Rapid Chargers.

Operation
Service and Billing
Whether for in-house use or public access, we take care of the charging management and payment processing through the backend system. Throughout the operation, we also provide service and maintenance for the Rapid Charger. Additionally, if desired, we can supply you with Ethanol and ensure clean energy is always available.
More Sustainability for Electromobility
We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact in every aspect of our operations.
From design and production to the operation of our fast charging stations, we focus on the responsible use of resources.
Ethanol
Our Rapid Chargers are powered by liquid Ethanol. Ethanol is derived from plant residues and does not compete with food production. This allows for an effective circular economy by converting bio-waste into energy.
Clean Energy
Using Ethanol as an energy source, the Rapid Chargers can provide clean energy throughout the year, resulting in driving emissions always below 49 g CO2/km. Fast charging an electric vehicle with the Rapid Charger 150 is significantly more environmentally friendly compared to charging from the German power grid, which emits 80 g CO2/km.
Local Impact
Our sustainable charging solution contributes to the technology and science region of Berlin-Brandenburg. We manufacture our equipment locally, creating jobs and making a significant contribution to regional value creation. Therefore, we always strive for a regional Ethanol supply that aligns with the location of our fast charging stations.
Instead of investing in rigid infrastructure, our customers enjoy new agility.
Q&A on Rapid Chargers
What is a fast charging station exactly? What fast-charging options are available? How can I begin the transition to a sustainable fleet? We have compiled the most important questions and answers for you:
What is a fast charging station?
How fast can a 'fast charger' really charge?
What are the requirements for a Rapid Charger 150?
The only requirement for the me energy Rapid Charger 150 is a parking space with a solid floor, the size of a standard parking space, and the ability to connect a grounding cable. The station will be delivered and commissioned by me energy. Once it's filled with bioethanol, the charging process can begin. Future refills are govered by a service contract.
This eliminates the need for long planning and approval processes with various stakeholders, such as grid operators, energy suppliers, and service providers.
It's crucial that your vehicles support the Combined Charging System (CCS) fast charging standard. This is the only DC standard (IEC 62196) approved for electric vehicles in Europe. All currently available vehicles, including Tesla, support this standard. CCS-enabled vehicles also support AC (slow charge) charging and the associated Type 2 plugs.
What are the advantages of an off-grid fast charger?
The advantages of a fast-charging station are evident: Cars that require quick charging because they are utilized in a manner that enhances the worth of your enterprise can be charged at a fast-charging station in a brief period. There are grid-connected options, battery buffer storage, and mobile solutions like the Rapid Charger 150.
Implementing a fast charging solution is easy with our mobile Rapid Chargers. The installation takes only a few hours, and costs are known in advance. Performance is guaranteed, regardless of location, thanks to the independent nature of the Rapid Charger 150. If premises are renovated or relocated, the charger is easily moved as construction work is not required. That means there is no disruption to operations, and no building permit procedures are necessary.
What is the difference between traditional grid-connected vs. off-grid fast charging stations?
Grid-connected fast charging stations, like those used in traditional fleet projects, are more complex to install than mobile solutions. This involves multiple stakeholders, including the grid operator and property owners. Before the first EV can be charged, significant investments must be made in grid connection, hardware, and project planning. The classic grid connection is tied to a specific location, which means that the invested money is literally sunk in the ground, and cannot be taken elsewhere. It is often uncertain whether the station's performance is guaranteed in the future if other companies move into the area.
What are alternative energy sources for fleets?
Fleet managers often face a lack of transparency when it comes to the expected costs of converting their fleets to alternative energy sources. This can hinder sustainable efforts, as costs of €200,000 or more are not uncommon. Moreover, depending on the grid connection situation, these costs can be significantly higher.
How can a mobile fast charging station support my business?
The Rapid Charger 150 mobile fast charging station is an excellent support for your business in various charging scenarios. Our charging station is available for rental or leasing, providing your business with the flexibility it needs. It can serve as an initial charging solution for transitioning to a fast-charging e-fleet or as a supplement to existing AC systems for specific vehicle groups. This flexible and scalable solution offers the opportunity to carry out your project almost anywhere. Moreover, if your charging needs increase in the coming years, our second, third, or fourth station can provide the necessary charging capacity to grow with your business.
Before starting, we suggest analyzing your charging needs and situation beforehand. This way, we can create the appropriate charging scenario. Which vehicles require quick charging? Are there specific peak times for charging e-cars or e-transporters, or will the fast charger be used alongside traditional AC chargers? We are happy to address any queries you may have in a personal consultation.

What is ultra fast charging with 150 kW?
Ultra-fast charging is made possible by a charging power of up to 150 kW, which is offered by the Rapid Charger 150 from me energy. With the appropriate CCS plug, high-performance charging is achievable without any hindrances. Drivers can now focus on important tasks instead of enduring frustrating charging stops. As a result of the Rapid Charger from me energy, you are a leader in the e-fleet industry, with a reliable and proven ultra-fast charging solution of the latest generation at your disposal.
LEGAL NOTES:
1 In the case of two parallel charging processes, the system power is divided, e.g., 75 kW per side. The power delivered depends on the power requirement of the vehicle. It also depends on the ambient conditions and may deviate from the generated power or conversion.
2 Both calculations are based on a mid-range BEV with a consumption of 20 kWh per 100 km of driving.
3 The Rapid Chargers from me energy are powered by Ethanol, which consists of 100% green electricity by the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz - EEG 2023) § 21, clause 21 e.
