Charging station expansion in 2021 at the previous year's level
According to the Federal Network Agency, over 2,200 new charging stations for electric cars had been put into operation in Germany by June 2021. This means that the pace of expansion is roughly at the same level as the previous year. The record year so far is 2019 with over 5,000 new charging stations. That may not be fast enough for Frans Timmermans' ambitious plans. If the EU Climate Protection Commissioner has his way, combustion engines will come to an end as early as 2035. However, this would require a massive expansion of the charging infrastructure. According to a tagesschau.de report, there will be three million charging stations in Europe by 2030. There are currently fewer than 225,000, of which around 21,000 are in Germany.
Expansion of charging stations in 2021 at previous year's level
According to the Federal Network Agency, more than 2,200 new charging stations for electric cars were put into operation in Germany by June 2021. This means that the pace of expansion is roughly on a par with the previous year. The previous record year is 2019, with over 5,000 new charging stations. This may not be fast enough for Frans Timmermans' ambitious plans. If the EU Climate Commissioner has his way, combustion engines will be phased out as early as 2035, but that would require a massive expansion of the charging infrastructure. According to a tagesschau.de report, there should be three million charging stations in Europe by 2030. There are currently fewer than 225,000, including around 21,000 in Germany.
