Tesla is reportedly seeking almost $100 million in funding from the US government to build the 1,800-mile charging corridor.
Some appear to be equipped with a contactless bank card reader and a display.
The current prototype was shown with a NACS charging inlet.
Located in Bingen am Rhein, the pilot station offers six 300-kW DC fast-charging points and four 22-kW AC charging points.
The charging stations will be accessible to all BEVs from any automaker, as they will offer both CCS and NACS connectors.
From 2025, EV fast chargers installed on the trans-European transport network will need to allow payment without subscriptions.
Pass+ members will pay a higher monthly fee, consistent pricing across the network is going away, and idle fees will soon be enforced.
The company unveiled a fully functioning mobile cordset sample with the NACS connector.
There will be a retrofit option for existing infrastructure as well.
