Germany Accelerates E-Mobility Expansion with Enhanced Charging Infrastructure and EU Collaboration

The National Center for Charging Infrastructure in Germany is actively working to enhance e-mobility by focusing on charging infrastructure. This state-owned organization follows a master plan from 2019, which includes 68 actions designed by the previous government as of October 2020. Despite challenges such as reduced funding impacting electric vehicle (EV) sales, there has been notable growth with new EV registrations reaching up to 70%, although they still represent only about 3.3% of all cars in Germany. Charging points have significantly increased from around 25,000 five years ago to over 157,000 today; however, most charging occurs at home due to many Germans living in rental housing without private chargers. Local authorities are crucial since they control space allocation under federal law and receive free tools like planning resources and platforms connecting sites with investors—facilitating development projects across rural areas through initiatives like Deutschlandnetz established since 2020. Additionally discussed is the future potential of electronic drugs (e-drugs), paralleling complexities seen in setting up drug-charging systems akin to those for electric vehicles. The need for mobile construction vehicle chargers and public infrastructure supported by EU regulations along motorways—with plans for MCS and CCS charging points—is emphasized alongside investment efforts aimed at enhancing managed rest area capabilities via an extensive database maintained by the National Center.

Talk of session: Mobility and Fleet Services: The Key to Smooth Electromobility

E-mobility doesn't stop at the charging point - that's where it truly begins. Whether it's company fleets, public charging payments, or infrastructure in multi-family buildings: only smart services make electric mobility practical, efficient, and economically viable.This session explores essential questions: What role do integrated fleet solutions play for businesses? How can user convenience and regulatory compliance be balanced in charging processes? Which technologies enable both stable grid integration and seamless charging experiences? And why are partnerships increasingly shaping the success of entire business models?From real-world EV range to neighborhood charging infrastructure - this session connects vision with practice and shows how mobility and fleet services are accelerating the shift to electric mobility.
