Excerpt

The article discusses the critical state of Germany's public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, as revealed by a comprehensive field test. The test, conducted by ATZelectronics and springerprofessional.de, examined the performance and reliability of both AC and DC charging points across various locations. The results indicate a high failure rate, with one-third of all charging processes experiencing faults. AC charging points showed particular susceptibility to errors, while HPC charging stations performed better but still faced significant issues. The study also highlights the challenge of finding available charging points, especially in urban areas during peak times. The findings underscore the need for substantial improvements in the public charging infrastructure to support the growing number of electric vehicles and to enhance customer satisfaction and acceptance of electric mobility.
