BaWü: Easier Charging in the Region - Network Grows Rapidly, Utilization Not
The number of public charging points for e-cars in Baden-Württemberg has increased significantly this year. As of the key date September 1, there were a total of 25,790 charging points, which is 18.2 percent more than at the beginning of the year, according to the Baden-Württemberg Automotive Industry Association. The association refers to figures from the Federal Network Agency. Nearly 4,000 of them are fast charging points.
"This development is an important step for the future of electromobility in our federal state," said the association's president, Michael Ziegler, in a statement.
60,000 to 100,000 charging points needed by 2030
By 2030, the Ministry of Transport of Baden-Württemberg expects a demand of 60,000 to a maximum of 100,000 charging points, as a spokesperson stated upon request. According to Transport Minister Winfried Hermann (Green Party), this should be feasible. "Thanks to technological advances, we need significantly fewer public charging points today than originally thought." The existing charging points are on average only 20 percent utilized and could easily accommodate increasing demand. Initially, the ministry had projected a need for 200,000 charging points.
