Font size

The charging stations for electric cars in Germany will be used significantly more this year than in 2025. This is evident from information from several operators. The Swedish company said that around two thirds more electricity had been charged at Vattenfall's charging stations since the beginning of the year than in the whole of last year.

EWE, the fourth largest operator in Germany, also reports a significant increase: "Our charging points are on average 30 percent more busy than last year." The supplier justified the increase with the rise in oil prices and increasing new registrations of electric cars.

The two largest operators EnBW and Eon also spoke of higher utilization, but did not give exact figures. The provider Aral, which belongs to the British group BP and is therefore the fifth largest operator in Germany, also justified the increase with more new registrations of electric cars.

This article will continue to be updated.

Open Questions

  • ?How high is the exact increase in capacity utilization at EnBW and Eon?
  • ?How long is the current trend of increased charging station usage likely to last?
  • ?Which regions in Germany are showing the greatest increase in utilization?
