According to the Federal Ministry of Transport, the number of e-charging points in Saxony has increased significantly in recent years. "At the end of the first quarter of 2024, a total of 4386 publicly accessible charging points were available in Saxony," the Federal Ministry of Transport announced. Of these, 3526 were normal charging points and 860 were fast charging points. Just three years ago (2021), there were a total of 2379 charging points in the state. Of these, only 381 were fast-charging points. The Federal Ministry of Transport referred to data from the Federal Network Agency.
According to the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), the charging network in Saxony is still better developed in almost all regions in relation to the number of e-cars than the national average. While there are 13.1 e-cars per charging point in Saxony, 19.6 have to use a charging point in Germany as a whole.
"The ramp-up of e-mobility is a joint effort and can only be successful as such," said VDA boss Hildegard Müller. Everyone must take their responsibility. However, the backlog demand throughout the European Union is enormous. The public charging infrastructure must be expanded much more consistently across Europe.
