"Germany has unveiled plans to massively boost charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. The €6.3 billion proposal would increase the number of charging points across the country to 1 million by 2030."

"Germany's government on Wednesday approved a "master plan" that aims to make the transition from fossil-fuel-driven cars to electric ones as user-friendly as possible by enabling electric vehicles to be charged more easily and faster.

The plan, which is to cost €6.6 billion ($6.17 billion) over the next three years, comes as the share of electric vehicles in Germany has grown to 14.6% of all newly registered automobiles, according to figures released by the country's motor vehicle authority.

The change to more climate-friendly vehicles is seen as playing a key role in achieving the government's climate targets for the transport sector."
