Austria Now News – Lower Austria
A fast-charging station for electric cars is currently under construction at the Schrick exit of the A5 Nordautobahn in Lower Austria, serving traffic between Vienna and the Czech city of Brno, with opening expected in early 2027.
12 points with up to 600 kilowatts
According to oe24, the company Ionity is operating the project and is planning 12 fast-charging points with an output of up to 600 kilowatts. The site will also include a restaurant or food facility for travellers while they wait.
In addition to the Ionity project, plans indicate that another charging station operated by the energy company EVN will open at the same site, making Schrick a growing hub for e-mobility in the Weinviertel region.
Why this location?
The A5 is one of the most important traffic routes between Austria and the Czech Republic and is used daily by large numbers of commuters and travellers. For residents of Austria travelling by electric car to the Czech Republic or Poland, the new station means shorter charging stops on this route.
Ionity is a joint venture of several car manufacturers, including the BMW Group, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz and the Volkswagen Group with Audi and Porsche, as well as the investor Global Infrastructure Partners. It is headquartered in Munich.
