Saarland: Shocking charging point numbers for electric cars revealed!

E-mobility is becoming increasingly important, but in Saarland the reality looks bleak. A current evaluation by the Federal Network Agency and the Federal Motor Transport Authority shows that Saarland has the worst supply of charging stations for electric cars in Germany. Specifically, 24.6 electric cars in Saarland have to share a publicly accessible charging point, which is the highest number in all of Germany. For comparison: the situation looks significantly better in the federal states of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Thuringia. Only 11.7 electric cars share a charging point there. Against this background, one could almost say that the charging infrastructure in Saarland is condemned to a shadowy existence.

But it's not just the generally accessible charging points that are a problem. Saarland is also in a bad position when it comes to fast charging points. Here, 102.8 electric cars have to use a single fast charging point. Meanwhile, in Thuringia there are only 31.8 electric cars per fast charging point. These figures speak volumes and impressively demonstrate how important it is to improve the infrastructure in the region. The Federal Network Agency collects the number of public charging points in Germany every quarter and makes this alarming data available. The Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) has also spoken out several times, but only compares the data up to July 1st and does not take any late reports into account.

The challenges of e-mobility

The situation in Saarland raises fundamental questions: How does the region become an attractive location for electric cars if the infrastructure is anything but developed? Politicians and those responsible have a duty to finally find solutions here and to demonstrate a good hand in planning future charging stations. Because the demand for electric vehicles is growing and it is clear that a reliable charging infrastructure is essential in order to offer potential drivers of electric cars a solution to the problem.

The topics surrounding e-mobility are not only relevant for the public, but also a challenge for companies and institutions. With the introduction of the 365 Copilot app, Microsoft is showing how important digital solutions are for the future, especially in the education sector. This app requires a Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscription and is accessible to faculty members and students ages 18 and older when logged in with their school account. Such digital tools could help raise awareness of e-mobility and digital transformation at the same time.

National impulses and solutions

The approaches to improving the charging infrastructure could also benefit from experiences from other regions. Other federal states are already relying on innovative models and partnerships to plan and offer charging stations more effectively. Evaluating data and learning from others are crucial. For Saarland it is now important to act quickly at this important time so as not to fall further behind.

In conclusion, it should be said that Saarland needs to catch up as quickly as possible when it comes to e-mobility. If investments are not made soon and a smart plan is put in place, the region could be left behind in this regard. What matters now is taking the right steps!
