Germany EV Charging Stations — Official Charge Point Register

Official source. No API key. Pay per record.

This actor gives you Germany's official register of public electric-vehicle charging stations — the Ladesäulenregister kept by the Bundesnetzagentur (the Federal Network Agency). Operators of publicly accessible charging points must report them under the German Charging Station Ordinance, and the agency publishes the register as open data. Each record is one charging facility: operator, address, coordinates, charger type, rated power, number of charging points, commissioning date, payment methods, opening hours, and each charging point's plug types, power, EVSE ID and meter public key.

The register read on 27 September 2026 was dated 1 September 2026 and listed 116,443 charging facilities. After the privacy rule below, 109,500 are delivered: 30,734 fast chargers and 78,766 normal chargers with 199,498 charging points between them. The largest states are Bayern (21,412), Nordrhein-Westfalen (21,093) and Baden-Württemberg (17,902).

Use it to:

• Map and count charging infrastructure by state, district, city or postcode.
• Track new openings — sort by commissioning date, or set commissionedFrom.
• Profile operators — every EnBW, Tesla, Ionity, Aral or municipal-utility site in one filter.
• Find high-power charging — chargerType: "fast" with minPowerKw: 150.

Who buys this and for what job

• Charge-point operators, utilities and investors analysing competitors' networks and white spots for new sites.
• Fleet managers, logistics and car-rental companies planning routes and depots around fast charging.
• Navigation, mobility and EV-app developers who need an official, clean station list with EVSE IDs.
• Retailers, hotels and real-estate owners checking charging coverage near their locations.
• Consultants, researchers and journalists measuring the German charging roll-out.

Pricing

Apify plan	Price per record
Free	$0.05
Bronze	$0.045
Silver	$0.04
Gold and above	$0.0335

You pay only for records delivered to your dataset. maxRecords caps what a run can cost: 500 records cost $25 on the Free plan. Filtering is free — the whole register is read on every run and you pay only for what matches.

Input

Field	What it does	Default
states	Federal states, in German (Bayern, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Berlin…)	all
cities	Towns, e.g. München, Köln	all
postcodePrefixes	Postcodes starting with these digits, e.g. 80 or 10115	all
operatorContains	Operator or display name contains this text, e.g. EnBW, Tesla, Stadtwerke	none
chargerType	all, fast (Schnellladeeinrichtung) or normal	all
minPowerKw	Only facilities rated at least this many kW	none
commissionedFrom, commissionedTo	Commissioning date range (YYYY-MM-DD)	none
sortBy	newest or oldest commissioning date first, or register order	newest
maxRecords	Maximum records delivered and billed	500

Example — high-power chargers opened in Bavaria this year:

{"states": ["Bayern"], "chargerType": "fast", "minPowerKw": 150, "commissionedFrom": "2026-01-01", "maxRecords": 5000}

(On 27 September 2026 that returned 420 facilities; the largest operator was EnBW with 67.)

Example — municipal-utility charging in the Munich postcode area:

{"postcodePrefixes": ["80", "81"], "operatorContains": "stadtwerke", "maxRecords": 5000}

(That returned 750 facilities.)

Cost guidance

A city is typically hundreds of facilities; a state runs from 719 (Saarland) to 21,412 (Bayern). The whole deliverable register (about 109,500 facilities) is about $3,670 on Gold, so most buyers filter by area, operator or power. New facilities ran at roughly 900–1,500 a month in 2026 (910 commissioned in January, 1,470 in February, 1,387 in April), so a monthly "new since last time" run is about $30–$50 on Gold. Recent months look smaller at first because operators report with a delay (August 2026 showed 657 in the 1 September file).

Tips

• New-site feed: schedule a monthly run with commissionedFrom set to a few months back; operators report late, so re-reading recent months picks up late entries, and record_id stays the same for each facility.
• Coverage maps: use latitude and longitude with rated_power_kw to map fast-charging density by district or motorway corridor.
• Operator share: filter by state or postcodePrefixes and count facilities or charging points per operator.
• Roaming and payments: points[].evse_id gives the EVSE IDs used by roaming platforms, and payment_methods shows card and app support.

How a run works

The actor checks robots.txt on both Bundesnetzagentur hosts (the data host serves none — HTTP 404 — which is recorded as "no policy", not as permission), reads the register page to find the newest CSV, downloads it (about 56 MB) and reads it in full. Records are pushed to your dataset first and charged only after they are delivered; if you set a maximum charge, the run stops cleanly when it is reached. Test runs took about 55 seconds. Every run saves a receipt (RUN_RECEIPT) with the robots decisions, register URL and date, rows read and rows withheld. If the site cannot be reached after several retries, the run ends with a clear message and nothing is charged.

Honest limitations

• Privacy rule: private operators are withheld. Some operators are sole traders or private persons (the register even lists "Privatperson"). A facility is delivered only when its operator reads as an organisation — a legal form or an organisation word such as GmbH, AG, Stadtwerke, Gemeinde or Sparkasse. Sole traders (e.K., Einzelunternehmen, "Inh."), GbR partnerships and bare personal names are withheld whole: 6,943 facilities on 27 September 2026, including some real companies whose names carry no such word. Display names that read like a personal name are left blank (2,480 facilities, most of them brand names such as "Aral Pulse" that look like a first and last name).
• Not every station is in it. The agency says the ordinance does not capture all charging infrastructure; only operators who completed its reporting procedure are listed, so the real number of public chargers is higher.
• Dated snapshot. Each file carries its date (1 September 2026 when this was written), and operators report late, so the newest months fill in over later files. The update schedule is the agency's.
• No live availability or prices. The register says what exists, not whether it is free right now or what charging costs.
• German values. Status, charger type, plugs and payment methods are in German, as published.

Licence and attribution

The Bundesnetzagentur states that the register data "sind durch eine Creative Commons Namensnennung 4.0 International Lizenz lizenziert" (CC BY 4.0) and asks users to credit "Bundesnetzagentur.de".

Differentiation

EV-charging actors on the Store — such as parseforge/openchargemap-scraper, crawlerbros/plugshare-scraper and dataquarry/ev-charging-stations — read community or app databases. This actor reads the German government's own register: every reported public charging facility in one file, with the agency's power ratings, commissioning dates, EVSE IDs and meter public keys, under an open licence.
