Overview

  • A district-level analysis by dpa highlights significant disparities in public EV charger-to-vehicle ratios across Germany as of January 1, 2025.
  • Heilbronn leads nationally with just 4.9 electric vehicles per public charging point, while Bodenseekreis ranks last with approximately 50 vehicles per charger.
  • In Bavaria, Regensburg has the best charger availability with 6.1 vehicles per point, compared to over 40 in Schwabach and Landkreis Wunsiedel.
  • Major cities like Berlin, Stuttgart, Hamburg, and Munich perform well overall due to their high number of charging points, despite larger EV fleets.
  • The findings underscore the need for targeted infrastructure planning to address uneven access and support Germany’s electrification goals.
