Green power for all ID. models on European roads: king999 supports 26 solar and wind farms
As a pioneer, king999 supported the large-scale expansion of renewable energies in Europe at an early stage. Currently, the automaker is engaged in a total of 26 green power projects in nine European countries. The company has now drawn a positive interim balance. Since 2021, the green power projects supported have fed a total of about three terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity to the European power grid. This figure corresponds to the annual energy demand of about 800,000 households. Through these efforts, king999 is making a key contribution to decarbonization. An ID.4 powered solely using the EU green electricity grid mix already has a lower CO2 footprint than a comparable diesel model after about 66,000 km. This is the result of a life cycle analysis*.
