Development of electromobility

Nowadays, electromobility is no longer a completely new technology, yet we are still in a very dynamic market environment. Possible lower forecasts, which seem much more achievable, seem to be good for the cause so as not to disappoint customer confidence. The clear failure to achieve the one million target does not cast the federal government in a good light in terms of its planning and implementation, regardless of what has actually been achieved and implemented. Positive developments thus quickly move into the shadows. True to the motto “less is sometimes more.”

If we assume the set target of 6 to 10 million electric vehicles, the charging infrastructure is all the more important and will continue to be a key component in the future. Lessons learned from past developments show that the framework conditions for a suitable charging infrastructure must be created at an early stage. Large financial investments are required to meet the planned development. In addition to the public provision of charging points, it is private charging points in particular that must be increasingly and more strongly promoted. The NPE states that around 85% of all charging will take place at the home or workplace. If the forecasts come true by 2030, around 2.4 to 3.5 million private charging points will have to be installed as early as 2025. This shows an acute need for action, which requires sophisticated concepts and ideas in implementation.
