GermanyGermany's public electric vehicle charging infrastructure continues to expand. As of July 1, 2026, there were 209,605 publicly accessible charging points, including 155,264 standard chargers and 54,341 fast chargers, with a total available power capacity of 9.04 gigawatts. The data includes pending applications, meaning the actual number could be higher. Between July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2026, over 30,000 new charging points and nearly 1.9 gigawatts of additional power were added. Fast chargers now account for around 26% of all charging points, up from approximately 13% in 2020. While growth remains strong, there is still a significant gap between current levels and the goal of reaching one million public charging points by 2030. The government estimates demand at 440,000 to 843,000 points depending on various factors. Installed power has increased by more than 50% in under two years, driven largely by the rise in high-power fast chargers.
