Charging options are no longer sufficient soon

The number of publicly accessible charging points will not be enough for the foreseeable electro-Offensive. In the next three years alone, the German automotive manufacturer to bring hundreds of electric models on the market.

Because the demand for electric increases cars faster than the manufacturer can provide, the current delivery numbers are misleading. The Hyundai Kona electric has a delivery time of one year, also a new Smart Electric Drive is much faster. In the next three years alone the German car manufacturer want to bring a total of hundreds of electric models on the market. Therefore, the supply of public charging stations is not rich in sight. According to the German Association of energy and water economy-loader was the end of 2018, about 16 000 charging points, of which nearly 2000 quickly. But the biggest part of the load operations take place in the private sector. This is the main reason why the Stromer outside of the big cities are more common in the Metropolitan areas: the residents of a floor apartment without a garage with a separate power supply and look at the private charging port in the tube.

The analysts of IHS, Markit warn, therefore, face a supply gap that could slow down the traffic turning: The pace of Expansion of the European charging infrastructure is not keeping pace with the electric model offensive. Thus, the Stromer lines long similar to how a gas could be used, be more DC-charging stations with a capacity of up to 350 kilowatts is necessary. However, the structure of the corresponding Ionity network is slow. Of the projected 400 charging stations are only 28 in operation, 44 are under construction.

in Addition, writes the calibration law from 1. April, a settlement on the basis of the fueled kilowatt-hours. However, for super-fast charger, according to Ionity no appropriate measuring instruments.
