• Germany plans to add 20 new fast-charging stations for electric trucks in 2025, complementing the existing 80 stations nationwide.
• Rhineland-Palatinate currently has 12 fast-charging stations for electric trucks, with two located in the Germersheim district.
• Thomas Gebhart, a CDU Bundestag member, emphasized the need for a robust charging infrastructure to support the adoption of emission-free trucks and safeguard regional jobs.
• North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) announced plans to install up to 2,000 EV charging points at 200 public buildings, including police stations, universities, and courthouses.
• Around half of the new charging points in NRW will be publicly accessible, with the state seeking a European service provider to implement the project.
