They should concentrate on making EVs financially more plausible for people without an electrified garage. Half of Germany lives in flats, most without an own parking space and will pay much more for charging their EV with much less comfort. And politics seem to completly ignore that.
Where you still wait 30 minutes and pay much more than those charging at home.
So: no. That is not what I mean. That is a pretty much useless imo, there are so many charging stations everywhere and they are mostly empty whenever I see one anyways (maybe, just maybe, because depending on a EV is so difficult for almost everyone living in flat?).
I live in the city and am lucky to almost never need a car. Many of my neighbours need a car though for various reasons. There is not a single EV car in the whole neighborhood of several thousand people. And guess the reason: it is impossible to switch to one. And this law proposed here will do zero to change that.
You see a shitload of EV cars in the suburbs though.
I get your point. But to be fair: for landlords where massive subventions in place. This program ended amd was not renewed because of lack of interest.
But at least for new buildings, a policy to force charging stations at every parking lot would be a good idea
I mean, if you live in a flat without your own parking space, I’d expect you’re taking public transportation most of the time. If you don’t own a car in the first place, there’s no need to convert you in the first place, at least if you have no reason to need a car.

You mean by making petrol stations have EV charging points?

That is why it should be solved by our politicians. They cannot always leave the main burden to the poor and the middle class…
