The TOOLs at a glance
MasterplanTOOL
Your entry into the charging infrastructure expansion: step by step to the master plan
The MasterplanTOOL supports local authorities, municipal associations and districts in Structured entry into charging infrastructure planning.
It bundles Data on inventory and demand as well as curated measures the National charging infrastructure control center - comprehensible and locally customizable.
The tool is particularly aimed at municipalities with little experience and guides you step by step through all phases of the development process. It helps to set realistic goals and derive concrete measures.
Measures can be selected, adapted and combined into an individual master plan. This saves time and creates a resilient Basis for decision-making.
At the same time, the tool supports cooperation between relevant stakeholders and enables the joint development of a local master plan as a Basis for voting, resolutions and implementation.

SurfaceTOOL
Efficiently find and offer space for charging infrastructure
The FlächenTOOL is the matching platform of the National Centre for Charging Infrastructure for the rapid expansion of charging infrastructure in Germany. It brings space providers and investors (CPOs) together in a targeted manner - from site search to project initiation.
Public and private sector players put their properties on the market, investors find suitable locations for the installation of charging stations. A wide selection of spaces is already available today and is accelerating concrete implementations.
With the integrated AREA CHECK municipalities and federal states identify suitable locations in a structured and efficient manner
LocationTOOL
Understanding and planning Germany's charging infrastructure
The StandortTOOL of the National Centre for Charging Infrastructure is the central planning tool for the expansion of the charging infrastructure in Germany. It supports local authorities and grid operators in making well-founded decisions and driving expansion forward in a targeted manner.
Based on current data and forecasts, the tool enables a voresighted demand planning for car and truck charging infrastructure. Future charging requirements will be spatially analyzed and clearly displayed in interactive maps and dashboards.
Offer specific approaches Tailor-made functions: Municipalities plan their expansion strategically and based on data, network operators use reliable forecasts for their Grid expansion planning.
Germany charges
The demand for charging is increasing because more and more people are driving electrically. The prerequisite for this is a comprehensive, needs-based charging infrastructure. What is the situation in your municipality?
