ADAC Urges Improvements for Slow EV Charging on German Autobahns

A recent ADAC survey highlights significant deficiencies in the charging infrastructure along major autobahn routes, calling for urgent upgrades.

An ADAC investigation of 40 autobahn rest areas found inadequate charging facilities, with some locations lacking infrastructure entirely.
Only four sites offered high-speed chargers over 300 kilowatts, which can significantly reduce charging times for compatible vehicles.
Many charging stations were underpowered, with 16 locations having chargers below 150 kilowatts, leading to longer wait times.
Charging points were often blocked by improperly parked vehicles, further exacerbating accessibility issues.
The ADAC recommends the installation of more robust charging parks with at least 150-kilowatt capacity and better signage to enhance user experience.
