Berlin / Frankfurt (dpa / lhe) - In Hesse, coverage with public charging stations for electric cars is comparatively good.

As can be seen from current data from the Federal Association of Energy and Water Management (BDEW) in Berlin, there are 2775 such charging points nationwide (as of February 23).

This corresponds to around 0.13 stations per square kilometer.

Only North Rhine-Westphalia (0.18) and Baden-Wuerttemberg (0.20) perform better in the regional states.

In contrast, the supply is much closer in the city states of Berlin (1.90), Hamburg (1.64) and Bremen (0.67).

"The expansion of the public charging infrastructure continues to pick up speed," said the chairman of the BDEW management board, Kerstin Andreae.

Across Germany, the number of public charging points rose from around 24,000 (December 2019) to around 40,000 within 14 months. This corresponds to an increase of 66 percent.

The BDEW's list is based primarily on reports from energy companies, parking garage operators, supermarkets and hotels.

It does not list any purely private charging options.

However, according to Andreae, around 80 percent of all charging processes take place at home or at work.
