Stuttgart is at the top nationwide when it comes to e-car charging points

Stuttgart is at the top nationwide when it comes to the number of public charging points for electric cars. The state capital is far ahead among the 107 independent cities in Germany. This emerges from new data from the Federal Network Agency, which was evaluated by the energy company 1Komma5Grad for a “charging station atlas”. In the Baden-Württemberg state capital there are 2,107 charging points per 100 square kilometers, twelve percent more than a good year ago. The German press agency dpa had the evaluation in advance. In a comparison of the 294 districts, Böblingen (328 charging points, +19 percent) was pushed into second place by Mettmann in North Rhine-Westphalia (344 charging points per 100 square kilometers).

Company boss sees catching up to do for rural regions

In Germany, electric cars can recharge at more and more public charging points, as shown by data from the Federal Network Agency. Accordingly, a good 209,000 public charging points were registered with the Federal Network Agency on September 1st, 24 percent more than in July 2025. These included a good 150,000 normal charging points and almost 59,000 fast charging points.

“The upward trend in charging points is a positive signal,” explained 1Komma5Grad product manager Jannik Schall. However, the charging infrastructure is growing unevenly. While metropolises are well supplied, things are looking less good in small towns and rural regions. “There is more catching up to do here if the switch to electric cars is to be successful across the board.”
