The Civil Engineering and Surveying Office, together with the Drees + Sommer specialist office, developed a forward-looking concept (opens in a new tab) based on statistical data and after intensive dialog with local councils, housing associations, companies and retailers. This participatory approach ensures that charging points are installed where they are needed in Wiesbaden. The aim is to provide a comprehensive and efficient charging infrastructure by 2030. Clear technical specifications and a transparent awarding of concessions support this project.

Electric vehicles are not only locally emission-free, they are also quiet, low-maintenance and often cheaper to run. Even with the current German electricity mix, they are, according to current calculations, more environmentally friendly than combustion engines and reduce greenhouse gases by around 20 percent in Germany. The "Wiesbaden recharges!" vision underlines the aspiration to establish sustainable mobility as an important factor in quality of life for all citizens. Pioneering projects such as the e-mobility hub in the Elsässer Platz parking garage, which is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (opens in a new tab)which is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (opens in a new tab), are setting standards here: with 421 AC charging points and eight DC fast-charging points (80 percent charge in around 30 minutes).

Anyone looking for a charging station in Wiesbaden will usually find one nearby. The network is also becoming increasingly dense: the planned number of around 1,680 public charging points by 2030 alone shows the city's commitment to this future-oriented topic. The additional expansion by private providers will significantly increase the total number of charging points once again. Current figures on the charging infrastructure in Wiesbaden and throughout Germany are published by the Federal Network Agency (opens in a new tab).

The strategy shows how forward-looking planning, innovative projects and the involvement of local partners are paving the way to a sustainable mobile future. This initiative not only changes the cityscape in a positive way, but also sets clear impulses that are directly visible on site to reduce emissions and increase the quality of life - traceable in the city's geoportal (opens in a new tab).
