The expansion of the charging infrastructure is a basic prerequisite for the market ramp-up of electromobility. Although the expansion is progressing steadily and there has been a significant increase in fast-charging stations, it is often heard that the charging infrastructure is lagging behind the rapid growth in electric vehicles.
Is this actually true, or are simply not all charging offers being used equally? Where does it make sense to better expand the charging infrastructure? How can municipalities and private charging station operators optimize the publicly accessible charging infrastructure so that their offerings are used accordingly?
The white paper "What makes charging locations attractive?" identifies the success criteria for the public charging infrastructure in Bavaria and derives recommendations for further expansion. In addition, results from user surveys as well as empirical values from charging station operators provide interesting insights into the popularity and success of different charging locations.
