Electric Cars per Charging Point: Austria at 8, Germany at 17
Published
In Austria, statistically eight electric cars share each public or semi-public charging point. In Germany, according to a recent analysis, there are 17 electric passenger cars per charging point. The figures were published by the magazine i-Magazin and show a clear difference between the two neighboring countries.
A charging point is a location where an electric car can charge its battery. The ratio between vehicles and charging points is often used to show how well the charging infrastructure is developed. When many cars share few charging points, charging can become more difficult for drivers.
The comparison does have limits, however. The two countries did not collect their data on the same reference date. In addition, different vehicle categories are counted. For this reason, the values cannot be directly and precisely compared with one another. The figures mainly provide an overview of the approximate order of magnitude.
For Austria, the result means that the charging infrastructure is better positioned in relation to the number of electric cars than in Germany. The development of electromobility and the expansion of charging points will continue to be monitored in the coming years.
