New Industry Association e-Mobility Deutschland e.V. Established to Accelerate Germany's EV Charging Infrastructure

A new industry association, e-Mobility Deutschland e.V., has been established to unify major players in Germany's electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure sector and advocate for expanded and improved charging networks. The association brings together influential companies including ABB E-mobility, Fastned, Shell, Ionity, Aral pulse, Electra, and others, covering a broad spectrum from hardware manufacturing to fast charging station operation.

The founding members elected a board with Linda Boll, Country Director Germany of Fastned, appointed as chairperson, and Alexander Junge from Aral AG as vice-chair. Their leadership intends to provide a strong, unified voice representing the charging infrastructure industry to policymakers, authorities, and the public. The headquarters, strategically located in Berlin, aims to facilitate direct dialogue with political decision-makers.

e-Mobility Deutschland e.V. seeks to coordinate the industry’s efforts in overcoming challenges such as permitting, grid connectivity, site availability, technical standards, and user experience to accelerate infrastructure expansion. The association emphasizes the urgency of decisive regulatory and investment-related decisions in the coming months, which could critically shape the future of Germany's e-mobility sector.

Furthermore, the association is not only a platform for political advocacy but also a hub for industry dialogue and public education about the necessities for a comprehensive and accessible charging network. Looking ahead to 2026, the board is focused on ensuring regulatory clarity, planning certainty, and investment security to support sustainable growth in the EV charging market.

This coordinated effort marks a strategic step to embed the industry’s perspectives more deeply within political discussions, aiming to foster a robust and user-friendly EV infrastructure that supports Germany’s transition to electric mobility.
