Volkswagen Group subsidiary Elli Mobility continues to expand one of Europe’s largest public charging networks – growth of around 55 percent over two years Elli Mobility GmbH now provides access to more than 1,000,000 public charging points across 28 European countries. As a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, Elli operates one of Europe’s largest interoperable charging networks. Over the past 24 months, the network has expanded by approximately 55 per cent, with particularly strong growth in high-power charging (HPC) infrastructure. With this milestone, Elli reinforces its position as the Volkswagen Group’s central E-Mobility Service Provider (eMSP) and as a key enabler of electric mobility across Europe. “Through this development, we are positioning ourselves on a par with other leading mobility and charging providers in the European market. One million charging points represent a strategic benchmark within the European e-mobility landscape. What matters most is that this infrastructure

Elli presents an integrated product package for bidirectional charging in Germany together with Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and CUPRA at Power2Drive.The offer combines compatible electric vehicles, the Elli BiDi Charger, Volkswagen Naturstrom V2G Flow electricity tariff and the Elli BiDi App, enabling active participation in the energy market via customer’s own electric vehicle for the first timeElectric cars are becoming energy storage systems and a key success factor for Europe’s energy transition. Around one million MEB vehicles from the Volkswagen Group in Europe are already prepared for bidirectional charging and provide the technical basis for a gradual market ramp-up. Volkswagen Group subsidiary Elli is taking the next major step for the energy ecosystem of electric vehicles and is bringing Vehicle-to-Grid charging to market maturity. Together with the brands Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and CUPRA, Elli is presenting at Power2Drive, the international

energy, and mobility„For us, energy storage and energy trading represent a new strategic business area with strong growth potential”, says Oliver Blume, CEO of Volkswagen AG. Following the successful completion of several months of construction, the Volkswagen Group is expanding its business model to include stationary energy infrastructure. In Salzgitter, the Group’s energy subsidiary Elli has connected the Group’s first large-scale battery storage system to the grid. The facility has an output of approximately 20 megawatts (MW) and a storage capacity of 40 megawatt-hours (MWh). With this project, Elli is formally entering the energy storage and energy trading markets. At the same time, performance tests for trading on the European power exchange EPEX SPOT are underway. The project represents a key pillar of the Group’s e-mobility strategy. The ramp-up of electric mobility requires not only vehicles and batteries, but also a stable, flexible and market-ready energy infrastructure. Further

up to 350 MW of capacity and 700 MWh of storage capacity are planned. A first storage project could be launched in Germany as early as 2025. The Volkswagen Group is entering a new business segment with the Elli charging and energy brand and will develop, build and operate large-scale stationary storage systems together with partners along the value chain. In the future, Elli's industrial energy storage systems will be used to supply customers and for arbitrage transactions on the electricity market. In this way, Elli is driving the transformation into a smart energy company and making a significant contribution to stabilizing and increasing the efficiency of the power grids. First Elli battery storage projects could be set up as early as next year. The largest projects in the Elli project pipeline currently have a capacity of up to 350 MW and a storage capacity of 700 MWh. Such projects would almost double the total storage capacity installed in Germany, which currently amounts around
