德国联邦能源和水资源经济协会主席斯特凡·卡普费雷尔14日表示，德国电动汽车充电桩数量增长迅速，但需要加速扩建住宅和办公区域附近的充电桩。
Stefan Kapferrel, chairman of the Federal Energy and Water Resources Economic Association of Germany, said Wednesday that the number of charging piles for electric vehicles in Germany is growing rapidly, but it is necessary to accelerate the expansion of charging piles near residential and office areas.
卡普费雷尔在新闻公报中说，德国电动汽车公共充电桩数量目前达20650个，较去年同期增长了50%以上。
The number of public charging piles for electric vehicles in Germany currently stands at 20 650, up more than 50% from the same period last year, Cape Ferrer said in a press release.
新闻公报指出，目前德国的公共充电基础设施能满足需求，但迫切需要增加民宅和办公场所附近的私有充电桩。卡普费雷尔呼吁政府修改相关法律，减少对住宅附近建充电桩的程序限制。德国现有法律规定，在居民社区建充电桩需要经过全体住户和房屋出租者的同意。
According to the press release, the current public charging infrastructure in Germany can meet the demand, but there is an urgent need to increase private charging piles near houses and offices. Cape Ferrer called on the government to amend the relevant laws to reduce the procedure restrictions on the construction of charging piles near residential buildings. The existing German law stipulates that the construction of charging piles in residential communities requires the consent of all households and renters.
