Quarterly report on electromobility in Bavaria Q2/2025

21.07.2025

The development of charging infrastructure is being continuously driven forward in Bavaria. Electric vehicle drivers can now recharge their vehicles at almost 35,000 publicly accessible charging points in Bavaria.

Charging infrastructure

1) Charging locations:

In Q2, modernizations or new installations were carried out at a total of 498 charging points in Bavaria. In total, there are now almost 35,000 publicly accessible charging points available to electric mobility enthusiasts, whose current occupancy status and much more information can be viewed via the Bavarian Charging Atlas (Ladeatlas Bayern). 70 percent of these new charging points are AC locations with type 2 plugs. Nevertheless, a further increase in DC-only charging locations can be seen among the newly built charging locations. The total charging infrastructure in Bavaria currently consists of 73% AC-only charging points and 13.5% DC and mixed locations.

2) Charging processes:

The absolute number of charging processes carried out at publicly accessible charging points in Bavaria fell slightly compared to the previous quarter to 2.6 million processes. This trend has also been observed in previous years and can probably be explained by the rise in temperatures in Q2. The increase in temperature in spring leads to lower electricity consumption by electric vehicles and consequently to fewer charging processes. As in the previous quarter, the number of fast charging processes, at over 1.36 million, exceeded the number of AC charging processes, at 1.28 million. In the past quarter, an average of 76 charging processes were carried out per charging point and an average of just under 24.4 kWh (estimated) was charged per charging process. In total, this means that the amount of energy charged in Bavaria in Q2 2025 is once again forecast to be around 65 GWh.

3) TOP 10 charging locations in Bavaria

The BMW site in Munich with over 600 charging points, which offers its users a wide range of charging services, is one of the largest (semi-)public charging hubs in Bavaria. Due to the high number of charging points, a correspondingly high number of charging processes are handled there, meaning that this location was once again able to secure first place. In terms of the average number of charging processes per charging point, however, at 41 charging processes per quarter, this location is well below the Bavarian average, which, as mentioned, was most recently 76.
The situation is completely different at 2nd and 5th place. At these Ionity fast-charging parks, which are located directly on highways 8 and 9, well over 1,000 charging processes per charging point were again carried out in the last quarter. These over 1,000 charging processes correspond to an average of over 12 charging processes per charging point per day. The other TOP 10 charging locations in Bavaria are also charging parks close to the highway. The only exception is 9th place, which is a supermarket parking lot in Munich that was equipped with 27 AC and DC charging points by V-Markt and Virta. At this location, 301 charging processes per charging point were recorded in Q2, meaning that these charging points are used almost four times more frequently than the average for Bavaria as a whole.

4) TOP 10 CPOs in Bavaria

In terms of CPOs (charge point operators), a differentiated picture emerges for AC and DC operators in Bavaria. Over a third of Bavaria's publicly accessible AC charging points are operated by Ladeverbund+ and Stadtwerke München. Vaylens, Virta and LichtBlick follow at a considerable distance behind. The TOP 10 AC CPOs operated 64% of the Bavarian AC charging infrastructure in Q2 2025.
The picture is somewhat different for the operators of the Bavarian DC charging infrastructure. On the one hand, four food retailers - Kaufland, ALDI Süd, Lidl and Edeka - are represented among the TOP10 CPOs. On the other hand, E.On Drive Infrastructure dominates the DC charging infrastructure operators by a wide margin with a market share of over 16%. EnBW follows in second place with 11.3 percent, followed by Kaufland with just under 8 percent. The TOP 10 DC CPOs operated 64.3% of Bavaria's DC charging infrastructure in Q2 2025, giving them a similarly high total market share as the AC TOP 10 CPOs.

Electric vehicles:

The share of new registrations (BEV + PHEV) of electric vehicles in Bavaria was 25.8% in Q2/2025, around half a percentage point higher than in the previous quarter. This shows that the proportion of newly registered BEVs + PHEVs has risen steadily again in recent quarters, even without subsidies, and that one in four newly registered cars can now be powered purely by electricity. There are currently over 560,000 chargeable cars on the road in Bavaria. The number of chargeable vehicles (BEV + PHEV) per public AC charging point in Bavaria is currently stable at 21 vehicles. One DC charging point in Bavaria is currently shared by the equivalent of 46 BEVs (previous quarter also 46 BEVs). This means that the efforts to expand the charging infrastructure in Bavaria are having an impact and are currently keeping pace with new e-vehicle registrations.
The proportion of new registrations of BEVs in Bavaria in Q2 was 17.4% and of PHEVs 8.4%. The largest share of all-electric vehicles (BEVs) in new registrations was registered in the administrative district of Middle Franconia (21.2%). This was closely followed by the administrative district of Lower Franconia with 21 percent.
The trend for e-trucks and e-semitrailer tractors is also clearly pointing upwards. In Q2 2025, e-trucks accounted for 6.4 percentage points of new registrations, almost 50% more than in Q1/2025. The share of newly registered e-tractors (e-tractor units) was one percent, which was also a strong increase of 25 percentage points compared to the previous quarter. In the commercial vehicle sector, too, there are already over 10,000 all-electric e-trucks and e-trucks on the roads in Bavaria.

TOP 5 districts / cities passenger cars:

Broken down to cities or districts, the city of Ingolstadt (Upper Bavaria) once again landed in first place in Q2 2025 with a BEV new registration rate of over 36 percent. The district of Erlangen-Höchstadt (Middle Franconia) follows close behind in second place with 34%. The city of Kempten im Allgäu follows closely behind in third place, also with 33 percentage points. The districts of Amberg-Sulzbach (Upper Palatinate) and Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim (Middle Franconia) take 4th and 5th place respectively with around 30 percent of new BEV registrations.

TOP 5 districts / cities for e-trucks:

In terms of e-trucks, the district of Neumarkt i. d. Oberpfalz (Upper Palatinate) is in first place with a high proportion of new e-truck registrations of 29 percent, with a correspondingly large gap. The city of Schweinfurt (Lower Franconia) is in second place with 16 percent of new e-truck registrations. Third, fourth and fifth place, with 15, 14 and 13 percent of new e-truck registrations respectively, go to the district of Landsberg am Lech (Upper Bavaria), the city of Bayreuth (Upper Franconia) and the district of Freising (Upper Bavaria).

Compact overview

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

*** Assumptions:

1) The vehicle inventories are based on the KBA inventory figures at the beginning of the year and are offset against a forecast of new registrations.
2) For the ratio of charging processes per charging point, we offset the total number of recorded charging processes against the number of charging points from which we obtain dynamic ("live") data. The ratio of dynamic charging points to the total number of charging points for Bavaria is over 80%.
3) The quarterly report documents the development of public charging infrastructure in Bavaria. The information on the development of these charging options therefore relates to publicly accessible charging locations and therefore does not generally take into account charging points from closed user groups (e.g. charging points in private underground car parks, on factory premises, etc.).
