Germany's E-Car Charging Network Expands Rapidly Amid Sluggish Sales

Despite a downturn in electric vehicle sales, the number of public charging stations in Germany has grown significantly, enhancing infrastructure readiness.

Germany has surpassed 145,000 public charging points, with a notable increase of 45,000 stations in the past year alone.
Sachsen leads in charging point availability, with 11.8 electric vehicles per charging station, while Saarland ranks lowest with 24.3 vehicles per station.
The expansion of charging infrastructure is outpacing the growth of new electric vehicle registrations, which have slowed following subsidy cuts.
Regions like Nordrhein-Westfalen and Berlin have seen significant improvements in charging infrastructure, with NRW now having over 10,000 new charging points.
The Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA) emphasizes the need for continued infrastructure development to encourage a shift towards electric mobility.
