such as the people and trucks injured was trying to feed the city center. the straight pieces explain the around the world more than 150000000 people we of mine because no one should have to

make up your own mind. dw, may 4 mines the the 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 range, anxiety 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 e v 's developing to slope? and why is germany falling behind and developing charging infrastructure? well, we're in the german state of north ryan was 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 company fos. ned. 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 to find in the customer, i just clicked to put the name is the money sign. it tells us about charlotte. and then i've been talking, so i seen a lot of companies, i'm all for about the one that signs or um the price of us to gnomish for sale, but that's just us $61.00 volts of offering. so based on being and like rest and you would open up the rest of you to obtain for such good as that. but then if i have to go for long, but let me look at the sound of the police in europe. i think that my face sort of started just many people talk to me off camera as well. the shed frustrating deals of broken charges and long waiting times. so is the charging infrastructure in germany, you know, 2 and a half and the pricing points will the number of areas we have at the moment. this

is rebecca head from on one weiss, president at the lex on a german company that makes charging points for other companies and public spaces. think of us not only about the shops and infrastructure, south pups or so about the hotel are creating show 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 lies the crits by 2030, making them smart. they will use software to about supply and demand. but the consumer patterns also play a huge role in deciding the future of tvs. i'm sure you know how the germans loved their gas customers. and that's because the modern combustion engine was born here . legacy automakers like mercedes, volkswagen and bmw are huge part of the german economy. letting go and adopting a new kind of personal car is

a challenge and 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 in a way, 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, then we're currently selling. but what do 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 as a right seen 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, b, it battery swap stations or manufacturing those batteries. the and china, the biggest drive of 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 range and eliminates plains oxide. because as soon as you are on the road way, that is electrified, you can move further or until you fall asleep on the, on the we also, we're not talking about electrifying every single meet there of road. it's clear that it suffices to electrify just a small fraction of all that can go met. there's also the old ways of 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 and 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, the ideal. oh, like the i'm we didn't have to get into what i didn't find out. your level of reality is easy. don't make a visual yes. the value of the, the, the, the, you got a stomach and bake list elected. you're ready to play this dude um, but as soon as i let you normally send them, basically like take a look at the and it will not be validated. so there's dna, scott that does make the cat that does get on to the level of the place. kind of got to wait. does that come on step lead up, which comes out of them plays out through a in a make relate to such developments joint efforts, governments in the region come together with organization supporting electric mobility in the region. half of this route was already launched in 2022. this model, it 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 set about ranging variety in long distance traveling the device i'd like you to call to 5 on your, on your, um, for the garden. now let's do both of them on the video the, some of the item puts in the loudest, that's what i'm to call them. each biased defense on open popular meantime and move . what's an ultimate and seen of the end? gets the not to the i thought the some what studies pub i'm starting to despise itself. does no one do you the most wonderful have done that gives you a bit of anxiety, especially driving through germany because most of the times this summer door to work happening and exit, that you're supposed to think of clothes and then you have to take like a the kilometer due to just to get through 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 star points, public, especially the 1st ones are working everywhere every time. that's the 1st one to

make it to live and make it easy to use. miriam has a ph, d and electric vehicles. she says that in the future, all of these will be charged at home over night with the 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 may miss the existing uh, fueling stations. when you go, you pluck and you're charged in 1015 minutes. so in the future, the dominant can you charge a home and you compliment to buy a network of foss, chargers along the traffic, cut of doors, maybe also some food and helps introduce on average, people in germany drive 37 kilometers for the 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 if the closest charging station is far,

you're 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 investors 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 government 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 by tvs. the government's dream feels 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 fuels 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 mocked 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 stays. this requires a very cheap services. so i think 1st of all, and there's the electrical connection for many,

a 6 option stations. this takes place in the local subscript to this, then less work. however, it's often reprice that there's no power to be provided by the distribution scripts, upper right to so and we have back at the platinum says, i'm sorry, i meant to meet 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
