Drivers of electric cars are finding it increasingly easy to find a public charging station in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. However, the ratio of the number of charging points to the number of electric cars varies greatly from region to region, according to data from the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). The VDA is generally calling for more speed in the expansion of the charging infrastructure. In order to achieve the target of one million charging points across Germany by 2030, a tripling is necessary.
According to the VDA analysis, the charging network in Saxony is better developed in almost all regions in relation to the number of electric cars than the national average. The state capital of Dresden is best placed, with a calculated 11.1 e-cars per charging point. This is followed by the district of Zwickau (12.1) and the other two major cities of Chemnitz (12.2) and Leipzig (12.6). Of the 13 regions in Saxony, only the district of North Saxony, with 22.3 e-cars per charging point, is slightly worse than the national average of around 21.
