Expansion of Germany's Electric Vehicle Charging Network by 23% by December 1, 2024
In a significant leap forward for electric mobility in Germany, the number of charging point operators (CPOs) has surged to 11,362 as of December 1st, 2024. This growth is a testament to the country's commitment to sustainable transportation.
The growth of public charging points in Germany has been impressive, with an annual increase of 23%. This surge has resulted in a total of 120,618 AC charging points and 33,419 fast chargers, making fast chargers a substantial portion of the country's charging network.
The economically strong federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Bavaria, and Baden-Württemberg have experienced the highest growth rates in charging stations in 2024. NRW, in particular, now boasts 29,299 charging points. Baden-Württemberg follows closely with 26,495 charging points, and Bavaria leads the pack with a staggering 30,464 charging points.
EnBW mobility is the largest CPO in Germany with 8,392 charging points, while E.ON Drive is the second-largest with 4,277 charging points. Tesla, with its network of 3,013 Superchargers, ranks third.
The regions of Bremen, Hesse, and Berlin have also seen significant growth in their EV charging infrastructure. Bremen has 1,078 charging points, Hesse has 4,421, and Berlin has 4,989, marking increases of 41%, 32%, and 29% respectively.
This expansion of the charging network has not gone unnoticed. Germany has connected 28,300 additional public charging points to the grid over the past twelve months, with the number of AC chargers increasing from 101,638 to 120,618 units, a rise of approximately 19%. The number of fast chargers has also climbed from 24,095 to 33,419, showing a 39% increase.
High-power chargers (299 kW+) have experienced the fastest growth, with a substantial increase of 49%. This development bodes well for the future of electric vehicles in Germany, as these high-power chargers can charge an electric vehicle more quickly than their lower-powered counterparts.
As Germany continues to invest in its electric vehicle infrastructure, it is clear that the country is on track to becoming a leader in sustainable transportation. With its growing network of charging points, Germany is making electric vehicles more accessible and practical for drivers across the country.
