Germany wants to be the first country in Europe to mandate electric vehicle (EV) chargers at almost all of its service stations.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced the plan to expand EV charging in the country at this month’s Munich motor show.
Reuters reports Germany plans to introduce a law requiring service stations to have EV chargers, with the aim of furthering EV take-up.
Chancellor Scholz said that Germany will become “the first country in Europe to introduce a law requiring operators of 80 per cent of all service stations to provide fast-charging options with at least 150 kilowatts for e-cars”.
