The EU Commission has given the green light for state support for the development of fast-charging infrastructure for trucks at unmanaged rest areas along federal motorways. The approved funding volume amounts to up to €1.6 billion. With this, the development of public fast-charging points for battery-electric trucks on state-owned land can now be effectively implemented, as proposed by the Federal Ministry of Transport (BMV).
The National Centre for Charging Infrastructure under the umbrella of NOW GmbH has expanded the FlächenTOOL with several new functions. Among the new features, it is now possible to indicate whether a site is suitable for charging battery-electric trucks or other heavy-duty electric commercial vehicles. This makes the digital matching platform even more targeted for site providers and investors, especially for the expansion of truck charging infrastructure, which is increasingly becoming a focus.
Municipal employees can now use ready-made templates and forms to issue tenders for charging infrastructure projects. The National Centre for Charging Infrastructure, under the umbrella of NOW GmbH, is providing municipalities with a practical aid for efficient contracting of charging infrastructure.
The National Centre for Charging Infrastructure under the umbrella of NOW GmbH has developed a new online service called Pkw-LadeinfrastrukturMONITORING that displays the current extent of publicly accessible charging infrastructure in Germany as well as its development status. The new dashboard will replace the ö-LIS reports in pdf format that were regularly published by the National Centre for Charging Infrastructure since 2022.
Federal Transport Minister Patrick Schnieder today presented the new Charging Infrastructure Master Plan 2030 at the Charging Infrastructure Conference of the Federal Ministry of Transport (BMV). The federal cabinet had adopted the master plan the previous day. It forms the central strategic framework of the federal government for the further expansion of charging infrastructure in Germany.
