<div id="readability-page-1"><div> There has been much good news about electric vehicle charging recently, ranging from 8,000 new EV chargers to be installed in Canada and 10,000 planned for the UK. Now comes even more: 12,000 fast charging ports (400 kW) for Germany, and in just the next four years. German energy company EnBW will collaborate with XCharge to get the charging hardware and software. “Against the backdrop of global uncertainties and volatile supply chains, it is becoming increasingly important to diversify the supplier base. This broader base will allow us to secure the quality of our fast-charging network in the long term and bolster our resilience at the same time,” said Martin Roemheld, EnBW’s chief executive officer. The company has about 8,000 fast charger points in Germany right now, but the total is planned to be expanded to 20,000 by 2030. The EnBW website states the company has over 900,000 charging points in 17 European countries The site also mentions green electricity in a section about its EV charging network, saying, “When expanding our public fast-charging network, we manage every step of the process — from site selection, planning and construction to ongoing operation with 100% green electricity.” Some of their charging sites have canopies with solar panels, but I don’t know if every single one does. In a different article about their EV chargers, one of the company’s employees was quoted about using green electricity: “Because the site is grid-connected, charging operations are guaranteed even when the solar plant cannot generate enough electricity at certain times of day or year. Of course, we always use 100% green electricity for operation,” says Marco Masur, Product Manager at EnBW. This particular article is about the planned addition of the new 12,000 fast chargers in Germany — a great feat unto itself. Though there is some anti-EV and clean energy sentiment active in the US, it appears many other nations are going strongly toward sustainable technologies. </div></div>

德国计划在未来四年内与 EnBW 和 XCharge 合作安装 12,000 个新的快速电动车充电桩（400 kW）。此次扩展旨在将目前的 8,000 个快速充电点增加到 2030 年的 20,000 个。EnBW 强调多样化供应商基础的重要性，以确保其充电网络的质量和韧性。该公司在 17 个欧洲国家运营超过 900,000 个充电点，使用 100% 绿色电力进行运营，包括一些配备太阳能电池板的站点
