AB  - Electromobility has grown rapidly, and especially in China, Europe, and the United States.Within Europe, Germany is the largest market. Our goal in this paper is to provide a data-drivenoverview of the key data, including the number of vehicles sold, place of registration, battery capacity,and charging power, in Germany. The results were generated by linking car-registration data with thetechnical details for each car model. We identified more than 84% of the battery electric vehicles inthe fleet, but the uncertainty is larger for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The number of sold electricvehicles doubled annually over the last two years. Simultaneously, the battery capacity and chargingpower per vehicle are rising. Combined, the two effects cause the cumulative battery capacity andcharging power of the fleet to grow at an even faster pace. The battery energy built into electricvehicles in Germany registered on 1 August 2022 was 50.5 GWh, of which 9.5 GWh belonged toplug-in hybrids. The combined charging system became the dominant charger type for fast chargingin Germany, and only 2% of the vehicle fleet used the competing CHAdeMO standard. To allowfellow researchers to work with the data, we published them free of charge on our data platformmobility charts, and we update the data monthly.
