Volkswagen is committed to expanding the charging infrastructure at is German sites and plans to install 750 new charging points next year, including the first high power charging stations capable of 300 kW.
Currently, the German automaker has set up more than 1,200 charging points across ten sites, including in Wolfsburg, Hanover, Brunswick, Salzgitter, Kassel, Emden, Osnabrück, Zwickau, Chemnitz and Dresden. From that list, Wolfsburg is home to its biggest charging park, with some 500 charging points located there.
The company adds that a large share of those chargers is publicly accessible and can be used by electric vehicle drivers who don’t work for Volkswagen, and the electricity for those parks comes exclusively from renewable energy sources.
Germany, whose automotive industry is going all-in on EVs, has had to pay out six-and-a-half times more in electrified vehicle subsidies than it did in 2019.
The government paid out more than 652 million Euros in subsidies this year. By comparison, it paid out just 98 million in 2019. According to Reuters, these figures were obtained by the Reinische Post from the Federal Office for Economics and Export Control.
The newspaper reports that buyers have applied for a subsidy for a total of 229,951 vehicles. Although that’s a sharp increase from 2019’s 73,081, it doesn’t account for the full rise in Germany’s payouts. Indeed, increased funding for tax breaks for electrified vehicles introduced in July helped the payouts reach their 2020 heights.
