E-mobility is currently experiencing a real boom and is expected to replace combustion engines in the near future. However, this is accompanied by the need to build sufficient charging infrastructure, not only in the driveways of single-family homes, but also accessible to the public. The National Charging Infrastructure Control Center is intended to promote sustainable mobility in Germany through coordination and funding. But how quickly can this happen? How can each individual get involved? And what specific funding is available? We talk about this with Conrad Hammer from the National Charging Infrastructure Control Center in Berlin.
