Overview
- The city’s executive committee ordered the mobility department to prepare a concession‑style allocation this Wednesday after courts ruled earlier procurement methods were not non‑discriminatory.
- About 1,200 on‑street charging points at roughly 600 stations are run almost entirely by Stadtwerke München and must now be offered through the new procedure rather than kept outside competition.
- The concession approach would let the city set requirements on access, power ratings and green electricity, but the administration must first complete a fresh needs analysis and a detailed draft by November.
- Officials estimate the concession phase could take about six months if uncontested, yet repeated legal challenges and the fact that current street permits for SWM expire on 30 June 2027 create a real risk of service disruption.
- Electric vehicle registrations have surged to more than 57,000 while public curbside charging stayed near 1,200 points, leaving drivers uncertain about interim arrangements because the mobility office has promised a transition plan but given no details.
