德国汽车工业协会：建得太慢！

Core Viewpoint - The German automotive industry association believes that the construction of charging facilities in Germany is progressing too slowly and is unevenly distributed [3]. Summary by Sections Charging Infrastructure Status - As of October 1, Germany has approximately 180,000 public electric vehicle charging stations, representing a 16% increase compared to the same period last year [3]. - Among these, about 44,000 are fast charging stations, with a total rated power exceeding 7.3 million kilowatts, showing a year-on-year increase of approximately 30% [3]. Vehicle-to-Charger Ratio - Despite the increase in charging stations, the vehicle-to-charger ratio has improved only slightly. As of July 1, the ratio of public charging stations to pure electric vehicles in Germany is approximately 16.7:1, meaning each charging station serves an average of 16.7 vehicles, compared to 17.3:1 in the previous year [3]. Regional Disparities - There are significant disparities in the vehicle-to-charger ratio across different German states. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Thuringia have the highest coverage, with a ratio of about 11.7:1, while Saarland has the lowest at approximately 24.6:1 [3]. - For fast charging facilities, the average ratio is 70.6 vehicles per fast charging station, with Thuringia having the best ratio at 32:1 and Saarland the worst at 103:1 [3]. Industry Perspective - The association emphasizes the need to accelerate the construction of public charging facilities, stating that consumer confidence in the availability of convenient charging options is crucial for the widespread acceptance of electric mobility [3].
