All reports on public charging, charging cards, AFIR regulation and charging infrastructure — chronological (newest first).
The cabinet extends the vehicle tax exemption for pure EVs: new registrations until 31.12.2030 are tax-free for ten years, at the latest until 31.12.2035. After that, only half the regular vehicle tax applies — the longest purchase incentive of e-mobility.
Read more →DAT May–August 2026: residual values of three-year-old EVs rise by 1.4 percentage points, petrol and diesel lose value. High fuel prices and fading battery scepticism turn the demand — compact EVs of €20–25k are in highest demand.
Read more →Three-wheeled electric commercial vehicle with 540 kg payload, 90 km range and Topolino technology. Production in Morocco, launch 2026 in Italy — charging via 1.6 kW onboard at a domestic socket.
Read more →MiSpeL regulates bidirectional charging since October: 100 GWh of rolling EV batteries, rewritten rules, 866 grid operators as the hurdle — and the question: drive the car or use the battery at home?
Read more →Application deadline at most intermediaries: 31 October 2026. Owners of purely electric vehicles can claim a bonus of over €300 with good offers, up to €425 at the top end.
Read more →Vattenfall reports around two thirds more electricity charged than in the previous year, EWE 30 % more utilisation. Germany's charging network grows to 118,062 charging stations with 9.2 million kW — and automakers double their charging points within nine months.
Read more →Spontaneous charging without registration, contract or charging card: AFIR obligation from 50 kW, but often more expensive — plus a look at the Ad-Hoc Map app by ewerk & Move Electric.
Read more →Up to 11 kW via a magnetic field — wireless charging as a series option in the Cayenne Electric, around 90 % efficiency, available to order now in Germany and Europe.
Read more →Pure EVs and petrol cars now stand eye to eye in the EU — 21.7 % market share each. Hybrids remain the strongest powertrain at 36.6 %.
Read more →156,399 normal-charging and 55,665 fast-charging points, 9.22 GW of installed charging power — the bottleneck is at the grid connection, not at the charging stations.
Read more →Around €1 billion for the nationwide truck fast-charging network: by 2030 an estimated 4,200 charging points on motorways — implementation starts now.
Read more →Up to €500 million funding volume, €1,300–2,000 per electrified parking space: three funding calls for apartment-owner associations, SMEs & landlords — applications are running.
Read more →15–30 % of range lost, up to over 100 % higher consumption in the cold — five practical tips: pre-warm at the grid, pre-condition via app, park in a protected spot.
Read more →10–30 % loss at the domestic socket, only 5.1–7.0 % at the 22 kW wallbox — and a Zoe saves around €120 a year with a wallbox.
Read more →Up to 62 % more expensive than the contract tariff, 52–84 cents per kWh on the motorway, and new: dynamic charging prices from Shell, Enercity and Mer.
Read more →Ad-hoc payment from 50 kW, TEN-T retrofitting by 01.01.2027 and a minimum power of 600 kW / 2×150 kW — what the AFIR regulation concretely means.
Read more →AFIR, new charging cards, provider updates — we summarise it for you and explain what it means for your charging day-to-day.
