In November 2015, the car pool of Commerzbank was extended with cars with electric drive. At each of the sites in Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich three e-cars are available for business trips. Since 70 percent of the normal pool cars are driven on average less than 80 kilometers per day, electric cars offer a suitable and particularly environmentally friendly alternative to cars with combustion engine. The eGolf 7 has a range of around 150 kilometers. Each site has two standard charging stations as well as one quick-charge station at which an electric car is recharged in just 30 minutes up to 80 percent. With a 115 horsepower engine, the electric pool cars reach speeds of up to 140 kilometers per hour and prove themselves to be fully adequate vehicles that offer a dynamic and virtually noiseless driving experience.
The electric cars are an additional component in Commerzbank's environment-friendly mobility concept.
