Saarbrücken leads in Saarland: More loading points for electric cars than ever before!

Saarbrücken leads in Saarland: More loading points for electric cars than ever before!

In Saarland, the shop network for electric cars plays an increasingly central role. Dynamic development is particularly evident in the Saarbrücken regional association. According to Welt there was a total of 399 public charging points in Saarbrücken, which was an increase of 79 Scores compared to the previous year. These figures illustrate the growing interest in electromobility in the region.

compared to other circles, the Situation is different. The Saarpfalzkreis and the district of Saarlouis follow 228 and 227 charging points. The district of Neunkirchen has the lowest number in Saarland with 109 charging points. Overall, it is reported that on February 1, 2025 in Saarland 1,233 public charging points, an increase of 16 percent compared to the previous year with 1,061 charging points.

comparison with other federal states

Despite the progress, the Saarland occupies last place in the number of charging points in the country comparison. In Bremen there are also a comparatively small number in Bremen. In contrast, the federal states of Baden-Württemberg, North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria lead with significantly higher numbers. Baden-Württemberg 27,778, North Rhine-Westphalia 31.077 and Bavaria even 31,463 charging points. Hessen follows with almost 13,000 charging points.

The steadily growing charging infrastructure is a central element in promoting electromobility in Germany. The Federal Network Agency regularly updates an interactive card that has completed all operators of charging facilities that have completed the necessary display process. The card not only shows the operator address, but also technical equipment and public keys that are necessary for the review of measured values.

growth of electromobility

The growth in the area of ​​electromobility is remarkable. As reported on Emobil-Magazin , over 500,000 fully electric vehicles were re-approved, which is 20 % of all new car registrations. Plug-in hybrids provide additional 10 % of new registrations. This rapidly growing interest also results in an increasing number of public charging points, which was over 90,000 by March 2024.

However, the distribution of the loading points remains uneven. While urban areas are well cared for, there are serious deficits in rural regions. The Federal Government aims to increase the number of public charging points to at least one million by 2030. Technological progress in batteries and loading times could play a key role here.

The challenge remains to expand the charging infrastructure, especially in rural areas and at the same time reduce the acquisition costs for electric vehicles. The transition to electromobility is not only a step towards reduced CO₂ emissions, but could also contribute to the stability of the power grid if electric cars act as mobile energy storage. A sustainable future of electromobility in Germany depends crucially on the investment in the charging infrastructure and the ecological production of batteries.
