This equates to 11.8 electric cars per charging point.
District of Zwickau performs best in Saxony
Within Saxony, there are significant differences in the density of the charging network. The district of Zwickau performs best with 8.9 e-cars per charging point, followed by Dresden (9.1) and Leipzig (10.3). In last place are the districts of Leipzig (16.0), Meißen (16.9) and North Saxony (18.4).
There are more than 140,000 charging points across Germany. The Federal Motor Transport Authority reports 2.48 million purely battery-powered electric cars and plug-in hybrids at mid-year. This means that there is an average of 17.3 electric cars per publicly accessible charging point. This is significantly better than a year ago, when there were still around 21 e-cars according to the VDA's calculation method.
