Questions
Briefly explained
How high is the funding?
Germany funds truck charging infrastructure at €500 net per kW of installed charging power. Around €1bn is available over four years. We determine your specific grant and file the application.
What is the biggest cost block?
Usually not the charge point, but the grid connection and transformer station. That is exactly our core competence — which is why it all comes from one source.
What does Virta provide?
Virta supplies the charging platform: billing, roaming, app, energy management and monitoring — EU-compliant and white-labelled under your brand.
How long does implementation take?
It depends mainly on the grid connection. We start the grid check and the funding application in parallel to save time.
