Hello everyone,
My friends and I have been noticing increasing problems with using public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Although more stations are being installed, it seems that there isn’t enough electricity available. Several EV drivers I know, including myself, have experienced stations that exist but often do not provide power. This causes frustration and uncertainty among users.
It appears that the grid expansion has been neglected, and the infrastructure is not keeping pace with the growth of electric mobility. In my opinion, more investment is needed in stable and reliable power supply!
Just my 2 cents

Theory... as already criticized, a charging point is often counted two or three times. No. Why is such nonsense always spread here in the forum? And almost always by the same people...
Definition of a charging point for statistics by the Federal Network Agency:

If I offer AC, CCS, and CHAdeMO, I am listed as having 3 charging points. But in reality, I might only be able to supply one. See above – a simultaneous charging option = one charging point. According to your (incorrect) definition, there might be even 250,000 charging points.

Charging points also include 22 kW (kilowatt) stations... VW generally charges at AC only with 11 kW... Yes, that’s true for well over 50% of all electric vehicles. The trend is increasing since there is no need for 22 kW. It’s kind of a compromise: too slow for fast charging and unnecessary if you charge anyway overnight somewhere in a residential area.

You don’t know that, and how could you? You drive 20 km (12 miles) from home to the office and back. That’s fine. No. I currently charge around 5,000 kWh (thousand kilowatt-hours) for the car at home plus on the road. I’m waiting for the next vehicle, the ID7 GTX Tourer – also designed for around 40,000 km (25,000 miles) per year.

But please stick to topics you can actually judge and don’t lecture those of us who are going to cover tens of thousands of kilometers with electric vehicles in the future... because, with all due respect... you have no clue about that... I have been driving electric for 3.5 years. But when I read the start of your post and find fake news in the very first sentence, no reader here needs to wonder who really knows their stuff. With all due respect, if you want to earn respect, then please contribute well-founded posts and avoid false statements. Or better leave it altogether, because it’s obvious that you are poorly informed.
