Germany wants to massively expand the country’s charging network for electric cars
BERLIN (AP) — Germany wants to massively expand the country's charging network for electric cars, spending 6.3 billion euros ($6.17 billion) over the next three years as it expects more and more drivers to turn away from combustion cars to more climate-friendly vehicles.
The country's transportation minister on Wednesday presented a “master plan” for improving the charging infrastructure that had been passed by Chancellor Olaf Scholz' cabinet earlier in the day.
“We are not just any automotive location, but a leading one in the world. And that’s why it’s important to us that what we’re preparing succeeds well," Volker Wissing told reporters in Berlin. "We need a forward-looking expansion of the nationwide charging infrastructure that meets demand and is user-friendly.”
