Built for the future, oversized for the present. A Facebook campaign was intended to bring full capacity utilisation to the charging park at Merklingen Swabian Alb station and test its performance. However, of the 259 charging points in the world's largest charging park, only 50 charging points were occupied by electric cars as a result of the campaign. Merklingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
