DCS: Charging infrastructure is well developed - eleven electric cars per charging point

The charging infrastructure for electric cars in Germany is already well developed and more than enough to meet current demand—especially in comparison to the coverage of fuel stations. This is according to an analysis of internal data by Digital Charging Solutions (DCS) GmbH. Contrary to the current debate about the inadequate charging infrastructure, the current infrastructure is appropriately expanded to meet demands. At the end of 2023, there were 1,408,681 pure electric cars registered in Germany. In contrast, there were 127,484 publicly accessible charging points. This figure comes from an evaluation of the network to which DCS customers have access, covering 99 percent of all charging points in Germany.
 

This means that for every public charging point, there are 11 electric vehicles. Compared to the ratio of combustion engine vehicles (approx. 47,300,000) to fuel pumps (approx. 86,800*), the infrastructure for electric cars is better developed than for combustion engines. Because for every fuel pump, there are 544 vehicles.
