Marking the first step in this partnership, the Vestel-made EV home chargers are being initially offered exclusively as part of a new E.ON cooperation with the ADAC SE for members of Germany’s largest automobile club.
Highly reliable, the Vestel-made range is smart and networked, encompassing well-engineered entry level designs as well as powerful step-up models. The range’s compatibility with the intuitive E.ON Drive App also means that E.ON customers will have seamless and effortless control of their charging, as usual.
