Quarterly Report on Electromobility in Bavaria Q1/2022

05/23/2022

For the first time, PHEVs saw a decline in registrations, while new registrations of BEVs increased.

The figures in detail (***cf. assumptions)

Charging locations:

In Q1, an increase of 216 charging locations with 616 charging points was recorded. Due to the increasing expansion of pure fast charging locations (DC) and mixed locations (AC & DC), their total share of all public Bavarian charging locations has risen to a new high. E-mobilists now find a fast charger at every fifth charging location. While pure fast charging locations account for only 6.1 percent of charging locations, the share of mixed charging locations (AC & DC) is 13.6 percent.

Electric vehicles:

The share of new registrations (BEV + PHEV) of electric vehicles increased by 11 percent compared to the same quarter last year (BEV: 44 percent, PHEV: -13 percent). When looking at the ratio, it is noticeable that PHEVs recorded a decline in registration figures for the first time this quarter, while new registrations of BEVs increased by 44 percent compared with the same quarter of the previous year. This means that there are now statistically 24 vehicles (BEV + PHEV) per AC charging point, while 52 vehicles (BEV) were registered per DC charging point.

Charging operations:

The number of charging operations recorded in Q1 grew by 232% compared to the same quarter last year. Per charging point, 71 charging transactions were recorded.

Thus, just over 71,500 tons of CO ₂ were saved.

Compact overview

The quarterly report offers a compact overview of current developments in electromobility in Bavaria. The Electromobility Competence Center at Bayern Innovativ prepares the data in a factually sound and neutral manner.

*** Assumptions:

1) Assumptions for the calculation of CO ₂ savings:
For each recorded charge, 14 (for AC) or 20 (for DC charging) charged kWh are estimated. An average consumption of 15 kWh / 100km is then assumed. Based on the calculated mileage, assuming CO ₂ emissions of 0.185 kg / km for internal combustion engines and 0.03 kg / km for electric motors, the total CO ₂ emissions of the respective drive type are determined. The difference from this results in the CO ₂ savings.

2) The vehicle inventories are based on the KBA inventory figures at the beginning of the year and are still offset against a forecast of new registrations.

3) For the quotient of charging operations per charging point, we offset the total number of recorded charging operations against the number of charging points at which we obtain dynamic ("live") data. The ratio of dynamic charging points to the total number of charging points is over 80% for Bavaria.

4) The quarterly report documents the development of public charging infrastructure in Bavaria. The information on the development of these charging options therefore refers to purely publicly accessible charging locations and thus does not take into account charging points of closed user groups (e.g. charging points in private underground garages, on factory premises, etc. ). A designation of purely publicly accessible charging infrastructure has not been possible so far for technical reasons, resulting in deviations from previous quarterly reports.
