This morning, I noticed this story from N-TV (commercial German news). For several years, there's been hype over getting public E-Car charging stations out into the general public.
Someone did a study and found that 60-percent of all German cities, towns and villages.....have zero charging stations.
I sat and considered my local area.
In my village (4k residents)....there's zero charging stations, and there's no one much clamoring to have a public station. If you did buy a E-Car.....you'd charge it off your garage or carport charger.
The nearest public charger? About a 8-minute drive away.....there's a grocery store which has a public charger or two. In Wiesbaden itself, I can identify around a dozen public chargers. Most all sit idle whenever I drive past them.
Is it more expensive to use a public charger versus your carport charger? Generally, the economic experts say you pay 25-to-40 percent more for the public charger business.
Personally, I don't see the return on investment for these public chargers....not unless you were at some autobahn site, and limited options.
