Today Federal Transport Minister Dr. Volker Wissing presented the master plan for charging infrastructure II decided by the cabinet in Berlin. Around 80 actors, including federal states, municipalities, associations and companies, have contributed to the development of the 68 measures.
With the help of the requirements planning of the National Control Center for Charging Infrastructure, the expansion of the charging infrastructure and the power grid should be coordinated in an optimal and forward-looking manner. With the Federal Network Agency and the network and charging infrastructure operators, the processes for connecting to the grid are organized in a simpler, more transparent and more efficient manner. In addition to accelerating processes, the main goal is to equip the networks for the growing demands.
The charging infrastructure master plan II is also a digitization strategy. In future, data such as the occupancy status of charging points will be made available in real time. For the planning of the charging infrastructure development on the basis of solid data and analyzes of the distribution and use of the charging points, private, non-public charging points are to be surveyed and included for the first time.
The master plan contains a comprehensive support package for municipalities to plan, implement and finance charging infrastructure. These include local master plans, regional charging infrastructure managers, digital consulting and training tools, as well as guidelines and templates for optimizing planning and approval processes.
The battery-electric truck is to be used both regionally and on long-distance routes. A suitable charging infrastructure must be set up for this in the near future. In 2023, the BMDV will advertise an initial public truck charging network.
Together with the municipalities, the federal government will remove obstacles in the planning and approval processes and adapt the legal basis, for example in building and immission law. (ampnet/nic)
