ADS-TEC Energy
ADS-TEC Energy, a leader in battery-buffered, ultra-fast-charging solutions, is establishing its first dedicated facility in North America in Auburn, Ala., bringing sales, warehousing, service, and assembly together in the new location. The company expects its new site in the United States to be fully functional by 2024, expanding ADS-TEC Energy’s manufacturing to include both Germany and the U.S. ADS-TEC Energy plans invest $8 million and create approximately 180 jobs in the coming years associated with the new site, which will facilitate the expansion of e-vehicle charging infrastructure in the U.S.
Auburn, Ala.– important business location in the U.S.

ADS-TEC Energy ultra-fast charging systems - powerful, reliable, and optimum TCO
With its ChargeBox and ChargePost systems, ADS-TEC has developed powerful, reliable technologies with an optimal long-term total cost of ownership (TCO). Both systems can be installed quickly and easily—connected to the existing, limited-power electrical grid, without requiring any expansion of the network—and offer the industry’s highest rates of ultra-fast charging. The company's latest ultra-fast charging solution, ChargePost, integrates two charging dispensers that combine power electronics, battery storage and air conditioning with up to two 75-inch displays in an extremely powerful, compact, and quiet "all-in-one" system. ChargePost is available currently in Europe and will soon be available in the U.S.
"We are very pleased to announce significant progress in the US,” says ADS-TEC Energy Founder and CEO Thomas Speidel. “Having been listed on NASDAQ for less than a year, we already have a successful market presence in the Americas, and now are establishing a new location for sales, warehousing, service, and assembly of our fast-charging systems in Auburn, supported by a strong economic environment driven by innovation and growth. We are very grateful for the intensive support of the local economic development agency and the State of Alabama, especially Governor Kay Ivey, and the open doors of the local decision-makers, who have given us constructive support. ADS-TEC is 'Engineered in Germany,' and we are proud to extend our quality products to the U.S.,” he added.
ADS-TEC Energy's charging technology was nominated for the German Future Prize in 2022 by the President of the Federal Republic of Germany and elevated to the "circle of excellence.”
