The Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) presents the first electric charging network ranking for the whole of Germany. The ranking reflects the density of the publicly accessible charging network for e-cars and is therefore a key factor for people when switching to e-mobility.

The S Value

The VDA charging network ranking uses the S value to show how many electric cars currently have to share a fast charging point. According to the definition of the Federal Network Agency, a charging point is considered a fast charging point if it has a capacity of more than 22 kilowatts.
