l needs the netherlands in berlin on saturday. and with that, you're all up to date from all of us here in the berlin news room. thank you so much for your company. see you in an hour. the not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day i'm in the car and use events analyzed by experts and critical thinking is this is the disc, weekdays, on w. my name is the calls back said wow, thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud means would it be nosy bay like good everyone

to king the healthy award winning called called. so hold back. have you ever had the fear that your car's battery will run out before you reach your destination? if so, then you are like many people around the world ranging side is real, but maybe soon we can have electric highways that charge our cars as we traveled in this episode of transforming business, we ask, is infrastructure for each of these developing to slope? and why is germany falling behind and developing charging infrastructure? well, we're in the german state of north ryan must fall. yeah. which is home to popular german cities like cologne document and also door. it's also home to the highest number of ease in the country. and not too far from cologne, is one of the largest foss charging parks. it has over 60 ultra fast charging

points from tesla, and that's a company fos. net. it also has a battery swap station from chinese automaker neil. we asked the driver as bossing through about the charging experience. it says no problem. if you just give me a call, just confirming the customer and i just clicked the put the name is the money center test. as about charlotte and then i've been talking so i seen a lot of companies all for about 6 times or um the price of us to gnomish myself with us just us about $61.00 volts of oakland, sufficient being and like western europe, we're not trusting you what else being presented as that? but then if i have to go for that long, but let me get this out to view it up on the police in europe. i think i might say it's sort of gotten just many people who've talked to me off camera as well to shed frustrating deals of broken charges and long waiting times. so is the charging infrastructure in germany enough to the half and the pricing points for the number

of areas we have at the moment. this is rebecca head from on one y as president of the lex on a german company that makes charging points for other companies and public spaces. i think it was not only about the touching infrastructure itself perhaps, or so about the hotel our credential, many the electricity grid worldwide needs an update. and this has a fetched price tag for the e. u. 584000000000 euros are needed to upgrade the current system and digital lives, the crits by 2030, making them smart. they will use software to bad supply and demand. but consumer patterns also play a huge role in deciding the future of ease. i'm sure you know how the germans know their gas guzzlers, and that's because the modern combustion engine was born here. legacy automakers like mercedes fox bag and bmw are huge part of the german economy. letting hello

and adopting a new kind of personal car is a challenge in its own way. but it's happening slowly but surely from 2019 to 2021 . the numbers increased by the effect of 10 from 3 percent to 30 percent of the registrations. so anyway, once it happened, it happened very quickly. um, but if you compare the number of new registrations with our climate goals, then we are not fast enough by far we would need to sell a lot more electric vehicles per month than we are currently selling. but would you buy it easy if the infrastructure threatens to slow you down. and what about charging and the rest of the world? how about the industry leaders like china or the us? you're probably surprised by who's on the top spot. south korea leads with the most amount of charging stations for 1000 eaves in 2022. the netherlands is accelerating and comes in 2nd. china is that number 3,

the interviewing numbers. more than half of all slow charging stations in the world or in china. it's not a surprise seeing that the industry leader has been working on tvs for more than 2 decades. chinese technology is credited for making a lot of the, the infrastructure possible, be a battery swap stations or manufacturing those batteries, the and china as big as drive all the u. s. is coming close with new innovative technology. forget charging stations. we're talking about developing fully electrified roads and highways. here's what companies like the rate and the us are working on. imagine the highways in which power electronics are fitted to inches below the road surface. and this is connected to the electricity grid installed and roadside. it would be able to generate up to $200.00 kilowatt insurance submitted to your car. there must be

a receiver underneath the car for it to receive the electricity while traveling. so basically this technology in an ideal scenario gives you infinity drange and eliminates brains anxiety. because as soon as you are on the roadway that is electrified, you can move further or until you fall asleep on the, on the we also were not talking about electrifying every single meet there of road . it's clear that it suffices to electrify just a small fraction of all the key on, but there's also the old ways at that out there and more specifically zeros that are you know, more chevrolet use, current li, efforts like these are underway in michigan. apply that project is going to be completed soon and will cost the state $1900000.00. but before we lean towards cutting edge technology, we must test out existing infrastructure. let's turn to latin america where brazil

in mexico are seeing a boom in the market. the situation is developing slowly, but the results is big. the, as you're looking at many kind of more just the newly. yeah, g o connect the i'm, we didn't have to get into what i didn't point out. your level of reality is easy to make a visual. yes, it's the, the, the, the you got a stomach and bake list elected. you're ready to play this to the base cause i've left the normal depend on bake when they take a look at the and it will not robotics those as the and it's got down to make the car that was canada. there's a lot of other places kind of got to wait. does that come on step lead up, which comes out of the employees that went through a innovation relate to such developments joint efforts, governments in the region come together with organizations supporting electric mobility in the region. half of this route was already launched in 2022. this model can serve as a great example for regions all over the world. and you're traveling across country is, is easy, but can be tough because the infrastructure is different wherever you go. here's

what drivers in germany said about the ranging gaiety in long distance traveling. how do you believe that? i tried to explain to you that a call to 5. i don't know if i'm yet, i'm the one that's my god. in the midst of oklahoma, i'm a made a video to some of the item puts in the loudest, that's what i'm to come up. each biased the popular. meantime it mood puts an ultima and seen of the end give to the nor did the i thought the some. what was today's pub? i'm starting to despise itself, does not what do you the most on forehead on that gives you a bit of anxiety, especially driving through germany because most of the times this summer order was happening and the exit that you're supposed to take is close. and then you have to take like a think of them with our depo just to get to the charging station. many people in germany pointed out the problems like these came to them from switching to eaves customer arise. the trust point is not working. this is not acceptable, so we need to ensure charge points upload things, especially to the 1st ones working every with every time. that's the 1st one to

make it to like make it easy to use. miriam has a ph, d and electric vehicles. she says that in the future, all these will be charged at home over night with a private charger in your garage. for example, in the night there's less pressure on the grid and you can avoid beating lines of charging stations. but in the day, this is where you mimic the existing uh, fueling stations where you go, you pluck and you're charged in 1015 minutes. so in the future, the dominant can you charge a home and you come to a month to buy a network of fos chargers along traveling corner doors. maybe also some food and helps incidents on average, people in germany drive 37 kilometers per day by car. now if you have any v with 300 kilometers range, then you're good. you don't need to worry about charging every day. but what is the closest charging station is far your driving distance increases significantly. to

avoid this, countries need to be faster with developing infrastructure. but let's talk about who handles this development. the charging infrastructure is obviously an interaction between private invest of the and the market and government, both on the national as well as on local and regional levels. so it is a complex mix of players in germany. one of these players is the current ruling coalition, which includes the green body the previously set. they want to have 15000000 electric vehicles on the roads by 2030, but with subsidies based out and major com acres rolling backwards, the government's dream field far. we need more policies on the national level to speed up the uptake of electric costs. it doesn't help that we just caught the generous purchase subsidies that were in place until the end of last year. we

argued for a reform of the context ation scheme and of basically making fossil fuel cause more expensive. this model has seen success in norway where you kind of shift consumer patterns by taxing one commodity more than the other. but this model isn't in place in germany. the government had set aside money for charging stations, but it was under utilized last year, the amount close to $2000000000.00 euros for charging infrastructure, but only ended up spending less than a quarter of that money. some of the bottlenecks include issues with acquiring raw material and general slow expansion of the electricity bridge. building a charging station is more work than you think. the installation of the shops and stations reprice everit's you've services. so i think 1st of all,

and there's the electric to a connection for many a subscription stations. this takes place in the local subscript. this has been less work, however, it's often reprise that there's no power to people divided by the distribution of grids. upper right. so um we have back up the platinum says i'm 70 with the, with the power suppliers. at the start of the episode, we us if charging infrastructure is being developed too slowly in germany, for example, the issues with charging our complex is the question of good capacity subsidies and investment. and the rest of the world is progressing slowly, but making great strides. and add to all this, the range anxiety that people have. this shows that the car and infrastructure industries have their work cut out with all this information, the question is, would you buy an easy
