Quarterly Report on Electromobility in Bavaria Q4/2022

1) charging locations:
In Q4, an increase of a total of 786 charging locations with 2,575 charging points was recorded in Bavaria. This represents a new record. The share of newly built pure fast charging locations (DC) has again exceeded 15 percent in Q4/2022. This shows that fast-charging technology is playing an increasingly important role in the development of charging infrastructure. The share of newly built charging hubs with AC & DC charging points was 8.7 percent in the fourth quarter.

2) Charging operations:
The number of charging operations carried out also reached a new record in the last quarter. Thus, the number of recorded charging operations increased compared to the same quarter last year by more than two thirds to now over 1.3 million. Of these, around 80 percent were recorded at standard AC charging points and 20 percent at DC charging points.

3) TOP 5 charging locations in Bavaria
The publicly accessible parking garage at the BMW site in Knorrstrasse in Munich, which currently has 491 charging points, was able to secure first place among the most-used charging locations in Bavaria with over 11,000 charging processes. The following four places are all occupied by Ionity fast-charging sites on federal highways. The most successful of these DC charging locations was the Friedberg site on the A8 in the past quarter, where over 6,000 charging processes were recorded.

Electric vehicles:

The share of new registrations (BEV + PHEV) of electric vehicles in Bavaria also recorded an absolute record value of 44 percent in the last quarter. This means that just under half of all newly registered vehicles in the last quarter have a charging requirement. There are currently 27 vehicles (BEV + PHEV) per AC charging point in Bavaria. For DC charging points, the number is currently more than twice as high at 58 vehicles (BEV).

The share of new registrations of BEVs in Bavaria was just under 26 percent and of PHEVs 18 percent. The largest shares of pure electric vehicles (BEVs) in new registrations were registered in the administrative districts of Lower Franconia (33 percent) and Upper Palatinate (30 percent). Immediately behind them were the administrative districts of Central Franconia, Swabia and Lower Bavaria with 29 percent of new registrations.

TOP 5 districts / cities:

Broken down to cities or districts, the district of Rhön-Grabfeld (Lower Franconia) again landed in undisputed first place with 73 percent BEV new registrations. The districts of Amberg-Sulzbach (Upper Palatinate) and Landsberg am Lech (Upper Bavaria) followed at a corresponding distance in second and third place, with 51 percent and 47 percent respectively. Close behind are the districts of Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim (Middle Franconia) and Straubing-Bogen (Lower Bavaria), with 45 percent.

*** Assumptions:

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

2) For the quotient of charging operations per charging point, we offset the total number of recorded charging operations with 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.

3) 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.
