Transport Ministry Unveils Draft Plan to Overhaul EV Charging Through 2030

The draft hinges on EU AFIR alignment and on pending cabinet and budget approvals.

Overview

  • Berlin’s draft Masterplan Ladeinfrastruktur 2030 enters inter‑ministerial review and will still need cabinet and Bundestag sign‑off.
  • The proposal would centrally publish all ad‑hoc charging prices via the national mobility data portal to make costs comparable in apps and navigation systems.
  • The government plans to seek EU rules to prevent overnight blocking fees at public AC chargers and to establish binding reservation standards for charging points.
  • A new 2026 funding line targets charging in multi‑family buildings and depot infrastructure for trucks and buses, with details and scale dependent on the 2026 budget.
  • Grid and security measures include online capacity and cost tools, binding response deadlines and digital applications for connections, BSI minimum cybersecurity standards, steps against cable theft, privileged permitting for hubs near federal roads, and an Autobahn charging concept due in 2026.
