ESSEN, Germany, March 13 (Reuters) - Innogy IGY.DE is in "intense" talks with a group of carmakers, Chief Executive Peter Terium told journalists on Monday, hoping to be selected as a supplier of super-fast charging stations for electric vehicles across Europe.
"It's not a done deal yet," Terium said, pointing to strong competition from rival vendors.
BMW BMWG.DE , Volkswagen VOWG_p.DE , Ford F.N and Daimler DAIGn.DE plan to build about 400 next-generation charging stations in Europe that can reload an electric car in minutes instead of hours.
Sources told Reuters in January that Innogy was in talks with the consortium.
