Progress is being made in expanding the public charging infrastructure: almost 17,000 new charging points were built in the first six months of this year. The automobile association VDA is still doing far too slowly, and the regional differences remain significant.
Drivers of electric cars in Germany are increasingly finding it easier to find a public place to recharge their batteries – but from the perspective of the Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), more speed in expanding the charging infrastructure is still necessary. As of July 1st of this year, there were around 21 electric vehicles per public charging point in Germany, as the VDA announced on Monday. At the beginning of the year there were more than 23 electric vehicles.
According to the VDA, the number of public charging points in Germany increased by almost 17,000 to around 97,500 within the first six months of this year. At the same time, around two million electric cars were registered in the Federal Republic as of July 1st. This includes both battery-electric drives (BEV) and plug-in hybrids.
Things are improving, especially when it comes to fast charging points. In the first half of the year, more than 5,300 of them were added to Germany. By mid-year their number was around 18,500. This means there were 110 electric cars per fast charging point.

But from the VDA’s point of view, growth is still too slow. The federal government’s goal is to have at least one million public charging points nationwide by 2030. According to the association, in order to achieve this goal, the pace of expansion would have to triple. “People need the certainty that they can easily charge anywhere and at any time so that they can switch to e-mobility,” said VDA President Hildegard Müller.
Ingolstadt passes Wolfsburg
In addition, there are large differences in the individual regions. The VDA evaluates the availability of charging points based on data from the Federal Motor Transport Authority and the Federal Network Agency for federal states, districts and cities. The city performs best Ingolstadt away. Here only around four electric cars have to share a public charging point. Emden in Lower Saxony is relegated to second place, followed by Salzgitter.

There are fewest options for refueling in the city Wiesbaden. According to the VDA, there are 115 electric cars per public charging point there. The federal states say Saxony best there, that Saarland worst.

According to the VDA, there is not yet a single public charging point in around half of all communities in Germany. This is “sobering and highlights the need for political action,” said Müller.
