Germany is a leading clean energy nation, and it is making progress with electrification of transport. The latest milestone it has achieved is that over 200,000 public EV charging points have been installed. A little more than 149,000 are slow chargers, and a bit more than 51,000 are fast chargers. All together they can deliver a total of 8.5 GW of power.
The country’s goal is to reach one million public EV charging points. “One million charging points, which are to be publicly accessible on a non-discriminatory basis by 2030, are to make Germany the leading global market for electric mobility. By making mobility climate-friendly, we will also lay the groundwork for technological and economic progress and, as a result, future jobs and value creation.” Installing more public chargers at workplaces is also part of the national charging plan.
Progress has been made installing more fast chargers too, and just three months ago a plan to install 12,000 of them was announced. “Now comes even more: 12,000 fast charging ports (400 kW) for Germany, and in just the next four years. German energy company EnBW will collaborate with XCharge to get the charging hardware and software.”
