The German federal government is planning a supply requirement for large petrol station chains to adopt EV charging facilities.
The Federal Cabinet initiated a corresponding amendment to the law this week. According to this, companies with at least 200 filling stations will have to operate at least one publicly accessible fast charging point with a capacity of at least 150 kilowatts at each filling station from January 1, 2028.
About a dozen companies are expected to be affected by the obligation, according to a paper by the Ministry of Transport. The stock will be taken into account.
The German government's goal is for 15 million electric cars to be registered in Germany by 2030. At the beginning of 2024, there were around 1.4 million, according to figures from the Federal Motor Transport Authority. So there is still a lot to do.
