How fit is Germany’s #charging infrastructure? With 120,000+ publicly accessible charging points, Germany currently ranks second in Europe after the Netherlands. However, a recent study by Statista shows that the country takes a more modest 11th place in terms of the number of charging points per 1,000 inhabitants. But does that necessarily mean that the charging infrastructure cannot meet demand? It is important to note that new #EVs are not appearing on German roads as quickly as was expected just a few years ago, while the expansion of the charging infrastructure is progressing steadily. Taking a look at the ratio between the number of registered electric vehicles and the existing charging points, it becomes clear that the charging #infrastructure in Germany is fully up-to-date. With more than 680,000 charging points, DCS provides access to one of the largest and fastest growing public charging networks in Europe. We will continue working on delivering seamless charging experience and drive public adoption of #emobility. Want to learn more? Stay updated with our news!

Sense is coming back in the debate on the future of e-mobility with the European People's Party dropping its call to scrap a ban on combustion engine vehicles sales 👏 More by POLITICO Europe: https://lnkd.in/eqRQjWAx Accelerating the adoption of EVs is crucial to decarbonise the transport sector. Moreover, as Europe seeks to increase electricity in its energy mix by 2040, electromobility can significantly improve the customers' experience, reduce costs and create new jobs. It will be possible with one key enabler: data. On 6-7 March at #EVision, we will launch our new joint report with EY on how data interoperability can enable the EVs uptake. We will also explore the latest trends with top speakers such as Luca de Meo, Georges Gilkinet, Leo Birnbaum, and many more! Make sure you join the conversation!

🚗🔋 Can Policy Damage or Hype the Roll-Out of Electric Vehicles? 🇧🇪✨ Belgium's political landscape is shifting, and the future government could significantly impact eMobility policies. With the recent elections, the formation of the new federal administration is underway, and the sector is keenly watching the developments. Key Highlights: Political Context: The dominance of Vlaams Belang in Flanders and the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) being the largest party, while MR and Les Engagés are expected to establish themselves in the south. Potential Policy Changes: If N-VA prevails, they may push to postpone the phase-out of combustion engines from 2029 to 2035, aligning with possible EU considerations. Philippe Vangeel's Insight: Stability and clear long-term signals are crucial for maintaining momentum in EV sales. Political doubts can lead to a slowdown, as seen with a slight decrease in EV registrations in Europe. Belgium's Prominent Position: Despite challenges, Belgium excels in charging infrastructure and EV adoption, with a significant growth in EV share to 50.4%. With nearly a quarter of a million electric vehicles on the road and a robust charging network, Belgium is poised to compete with European leaders like the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The question remains: Can policy decisions either damage or hype the roll-out of electric vehicles in Belgium? 🚀🔋 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/d5Un_8uu #EVBelgium #eMobility #ElectricVehicles #SustainableFuture #ZeroEmissions #Belgium

💡 I want to elaborate on a question which is as relevant as ever: ➡ What is the potential impact of #electricvehicles on transport emissions in Germany? The #German government abruptly rolled back its subsidy program for battery electric vehicles in December 2023, around a year after it cut back on the environmental bonus given for the purchase of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. In parallel, the federal government remained committed to its target of having 15 million battery-electric vehicles in circulation in Germany by 2030. Growing #EV sales could contribute to the #decarbonization of the country’s transport sector, which is the third-highest polluter behind the energy and industry sectors, and help Germany lower its environmental impact. 📈 I'm excited to share with you our brand new Statista trend report which provides insights on the magnitude of this contribution through two scenarios: 1) The business-as-usual scenario assumes a static market environment without involvement from the federal government or industry stakeholders. 2) The exponential growth scenario, in contrast, assumes further intervention to boost electric vehicle adoption. The report also features a comprehensive overview of the current German electric vehicle market and analyses the factors impacting passenger car emissions. Go straight to the study: ➡ https://lnkd.in/es_Gswtr Which scenario do you think will occur? Is Germany's goal of having 15 million BEVs on the road until 2030 realistic? And will the ban of sales of new engine cars from 2035 be the right way for the EU?

🎙 As the new Commissioners-designate appear in public hearings at the European Parliament this week, we want to reaffirm our support for the EU’s 2035 zero-emission vehicle targets. These targets are vital for Europe’s electric vehicle (#EV) ecosystem and provide the investment certainty needed for #electrical contractors to secure the workforce necessary to expand critical infrastructure⚡   📜 For this reason, EuropeOn - The European Electrical Contractors Association has co-signed a letter with AVERE - The European Association for Electromobility, ChargeUp Europe, and Eurelectric urging the new European Commission to strengthen the 2035 framework and seize its e-mobility opportunity! This will be fundamental to build a sustainable, electrified and competitive future for Europe.    Read the full letter here 👉 https://bit.ly/4fo3Mxu Stéphane Séjourné, Teresa Ribera, Wopke Hoekstra, Apostolos Tzitzikostas

This is exciting to see. The railway presents a huge opportunity to reduce CO2 associated with the transportation of goods and people compared to road vehicles and airplanes. The deal is even sweeter when we can make our trains battery-powered, effectively achieving zero emissions. This is a wonderful achievement by Siemens Mobility, one that underscores the potential for sustainable transportation solutions.
