For the transition to electric mobility to succeed, a comprehensive, needs-based and user-friendly charging infrastructure is required. The charging infrastructure, in turn, requires land on which it can be built. Municipalities and federal states play a pivotal role in providing suitable sites, as they often have suitable properties. By providing these areas, they support the expansion of the charging infrastructure in Germany and help electric mobility as a whole to succeed. 14. March 2024 Today at the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV), the Advisory Board of the National Centre for Charging Infrastructure [at NOW GmbH] presented a roadmap for introducing bidirectional charging in Germany. Leading members of the advisory board as well as representatives of the National Centre presented the paper to Daniela Kluckert, Parliamentary State Secretary, also Commissioner for charging column infrastructure, at the BMDV. Around 50 experts from industry and relevant stakeholders developed the paper together, under the leadership of EnBW and VDA. 11. March 2024 Autobahn GmbH is pressing ahead with the expansion of the fast-charging infrastructure along the federal motorways. As part of the federal government’s Deutschlandnetz, the tender for almost 1,000 fast-charging points at 200 unmanaged motorway service areas was successfully completed today. 9. February 2024 Daniela Kluckert, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, and Dr. Cordelia Koch, District Mayor of Berlin-Pankow, paid a visit to the National Centre for Charging Infrastructure on 7 February 2024. Both discussed the challenges facing inner-city districts in the further expansion of charging infrastructure during an informative exchange with Johannes Pallasch and Dagmar Fehler from the centre’s management team. 7. February 2024 Right on time for Christmas, the Deutschlandnetz, which is financed by the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport, is commencing operations. The first of more than 900 locations in the Deutschlandnetz was officially opened today in Düren. 21. December 2023 To accelerate the expansion of charging infrastructure, the state of Baden-Württemberg is now using FlächenTOOL, produced by the National Centre for Charging Infrastructure, to list 130 federally- and state-owned parking areas along federal and state roads. 17. November 2023 The National Centre for Charging Infrastructure under the umbrella of NOW GmbH, has today published the guide entitled: ‘Easy charging at the depot’ on the occasion of the BMDV conference on climate-friendly commercial vehicles 2023. It provides basic information on setting up charging infrastructure for heavy battery-electric commercial vehicles at depots. 16. November 2023 The National Centre for Charging Infrastructure today launched the fourth course offered by their digital learning platform, LadeLernTOOL. The tool helps administrative staff acquire and develop the knowledge needed for managing and authorising the installation of local charging infrastructure. 14. November 2023 The Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV – Bundesministerium für Digitales und Verkehr) is continuing to support micro businesses as well as small and medium-sized enterprises and large companies in the purchase and installation of fast charging points (with at least 50 kW nominal charging capacity) on company premises until 30 November 2023. Each charging point can receive up to 30,000 euros funding support, with a maximum grant volume of 5 million euros. 20. October 2023 Berliner Stadtwerke has installed four new charging stations equipped with eight charging points in the district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in Berlin. The Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (Bundesministerium für Digitales und Verkehr) supported the publicly accessible charging park with €45,000 in funding. 4.
