Public charging infrastructure on the rise! Last week, we asked you to guess the average #charging point occupancy rate in #Germany. Half of you got it right: according to BDEW Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e.V., the nationwide charging station occupancy rate was around 12.5 percent in 2023. Moreover, this rate varies significantly from region to region, ranging from 3 to 23 percent. These relatively low figures are now confirmed by our internal data. According to the latest evaluation of the DCS network, which covers 99 percent of all #EV charging points in Germany, there are only 11 EVs for every public charging point in the country. By contrast, there are a staggering 544 IC engine vehicles for every single gas pump. These updates on the state of German charging infrastructure should alleviate range anxiety for those who are still undecided. At DCS, we are committed to supporting the growth of #sustainable mobility through a seamless and accessible charging experience. Stay with us for more exciting facts and updates!

#DidYouKnow that Swiss public charging network is one of the best and densest in the world? If you need a particularly quick charge, Switzerland has you covered - with 2,764 fast-charging points at nearly 13,000 stations, you'll be back on the road in no time. Most of the fast chargers can be found along the St. Gotthard North-South Axis, an important route from northern to southern #Europe. The general #emobility development in Switzerland is also positive: the share of new #EV registrations in 2023 was around 21%, which is 5% above the European average. However, Switzerland still ranks lower than Scandinavian and Benelux countries in terms of EV market share and growth. An efficient #charging service is crucial for ensuring a smooth switch to #sustainable mobility. With our partner BMW Group Switzerland, Swiss e-drivers receive comprehensive support from the EV search phase onwards. DCS offers 100% network coverage in Switzerland, making the journey on Alpine roads as comfortable and secure as possible. And there’s more reasons to go electric: every new BMW EV customer can benefit from the “IONITY Unlimited” tariff for a whole year. What to know more? Stay updated with our news!

Exciting developments in Germany’s #emobility market! Recently, we asked you to guess how many public #charging points were installed in Germany in 2023. 31% of you guessed right: a total of 32,733 points were installed in 2023, marking an impressive increase of nearly 40%. Those are the results of the latest Electric Mobility Monitor by BDEW Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e.V. For the second consecutive year, there has been a record expansion in German public charging infrastructure. With a total of 118,163 charging points, the local charging market exceeds the new European minimum targets by almost twofold. Last year has also been a #success for DCS – with more than 700,000 charging points in Europe, we now provide access to one of the largest and fastest-growing networks and cover almost 99% of all charging points in Germany. DCS focus remains on refining the charging experience and boosting adoption of #sustainable mobility. Stay tuned for more updates and insights!
