The infrastructure for electric vehicle (EV) charging in Germany is undergoing significant expansion, driven by sustained growth in EV adoption and government policies aimed at strengthening this network.
A report by Mordor Intelligence projects that the national EV charging infrastructure market will reach 691.77 million dollars (approximately 643.35 million euros) by 2030.
This would represent a compound annual growth rate of 9% between 2025 and 2030.
Furthermore, according to data from the European Alternative Fuels Observatory (EAFO), the nation ranks among the top three countries with the highest number of charging points installed in the European Union.
This expansion is mirrored in the activities of leading companies manufacturing chargers in the country.

Since 2011, the company has been producing charging points for private, commercial, and public sectors, adhering to strict quality standards.
Its product range includes the Wallbox eM4 family and SCHUKO-compliant plugs.
The firm’s manufacturing processes are defined by automation and advanced technology, underscoring its commitment to “Made in Germany” quality.
MENNEKES
In North Rhine-Westphalia, MENNEKES established itself as a benchmark for electromobility.
Based in Kirchhundem, the company is renowned for developing the Type 2 plug, the European standard for EV charging.
Since 2008, MENNEKES has produced charging stations catering to private, semi-public, and public needs, offering highly customisable solutions.

ADS-TEC Energy
ADS-TEC Energy, based in Nürtingen, Baden-Württemberg, is distinguished by its innovations in rapid and ultra-rapid charging.
Its facility near Dresden was designed to scale production and address the growing demands of the global market.
In this way, according to Stefan Di Bitonto, Deputy Director of Mechanical and Electronic Technologies at Germany Trade & Invest, the country remains one of Europe’s “most attractive investment destinations.”
As he explains to Mobility Portal Europe, this is due to the country’s robust industrial base, access to advanced technologies, skilled workforce, and government incentives for green technologies.
“All locations benefit from political and financial backing, with regional development programmes, tax incentives, R&D funding, and access to skilled labour as key attractions,” he summarises.
