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). 18. December 2025 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. 4. December 2025 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. 20. November 2025 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. 20. November 2025 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. 20. November 2025 The FlächenTOOL of the National Centre for Charging Infrastructure has reached a milestone: for the 300th time, a site has been successfully brokered to an operator (CPO) for the construction of charging infrastructure. 17. November 2025 The National Centre for Charging Infrastructure, which operates under the umbrella of NOW GmbH, has examined the utilisation of around 28,000 publicly accessible charging points in Germany that have received funding support. Data from 2018 to 2024 was taken into account for the analysis. It provides an overview of how the use of public charging points has developed over several years and what factors influence it. 27. August 2025 E.ON is putting six fast-charging stations, each with two charging points, into operation in Papenburg, Lower Saxony, as part of the Deutschlandnetz network. Twelve electric vehicles can be charged there with a minimum of 200 kW and up to 400 kW of charging power. This means that modern electric cars can be ready for the next leg of their journey within around 20 minutes. 6. August 2025 How well-equipped is my municipality in terms of publicly accessible charging infrastructure at the moment? And how many charging points for e-vehicles will my municipality need in the future? The new website www.toolbox.nationale-leitstelle.de from the National Centre for Charging Infrastructure at NOW GmbH provides specific answers based on prepared data for each municipality in Germany. 9. July 2025 The Free State of Saxony is providing its own parking spaces for the creation of publicly usable charging facilities by outside investors through the FlächenTOOL of the National Centre for Charging Infrastructure. It is thereby making another important contribution to the expansion of publicly accessible charging infrastructure. 2. July 2025EU Commission gives green light for fast-charging network for trucks
