Key ZEV Policies:

  • To provide easy access to fast charging for everyone, i.e. even in remote regions where market conditions do not attract enough charging providers, the Federal Government has launched a tender for 1,000 fast charging locations to be set up. The tender guarantees that this so-called “Deutschland-Netz” (“Network for all Germany”) comes at the lowest possible cost and at speedy pace: https://nationale-leitstelle.de/en/foerdern/deutschlandnetz/
  • To accelerate the uptake of zero emission heavy duty vehicles the Federal Government has introduced a high CO2 price of 200 € per ton in the highway toll scheme which charges for infrastructure costs, emissions and noise. Zero emission trucks are fully exempt from ALL toll components until end of 2025 and afterwards, they continue to be exempt from the CO2 surcharge and pay only 25% of the infrastructure charge. https://www.bundesregierung.de/breg-en/news/lorry-toll-co2-2196348
  • The most powerful instrument to bring more EV on Germany’s roads is the EU CO2 emission standards for new cars and vans. They require manufacturers to bring down emissions of new vehicles at a rapid pace. From 2035 onwards only fully zero emission vehicles meet the standards. https://climate.ec.europa.eu/eu-action/transport/road-transport-reducing-co2-emissions-vehicles/co2-emission-performance-standards-cars-and-vans_en

      • Roadmap Electric Mobility Roadmap 2025: By signing the Electric Mobility Roadmap 2025, representatives of the private and public sectors have committed to jointly promoting development in this area. The roadmap is a platform for connecting these players. They contribute to the development of electromobility with individual measures. In addition, they are involved in joint measures in key areas (“lighthouses”) such as the expansion of charging options in specific situations (multi-party buildings, neighborhoods, points of interest) and in the circular economy of batteries: https://roadmap-elektromobilitaet.ch/de/
      • LadenPunkt: This program offers support to boost the charging infrastructure for electric mobility in Switzerland. It provides the basics and tools as well as a reliable basis for planning, implementing and optimizing charging infrastructure: https://www.laden-punkt.ch/de/home/

      Working Together

      The members cooperate in the following areas on the basis of the principle of equality and mutual benefit:

      Setting deployment targets

      Creating a “race to the top” with ambitious, achievable targets for further ZEV deployment in line with long-term climate goals, backed by comprehensive strategies

      Acting together

      Sharing data, best practices, and other information to design and implement policies to overcome all barriers to the ZEV transition, while looking for opportunities to act together to achieve individual and collective targets

      Encouraging a global transition

      Publicly sharing cutting-edge research and participating in international events to encourage other governments at all levels, as well as the private sector, to move more quickly

      Becoming a member

      Membership in the ZEV Alliance is open to national and sub-national governments (e.g., states and provinces) which have strong ambitions to transition to ZEVs and have policies in place to enhance availability, increase affordability, improve charging and refueling infrastructure, and promote equity in the ZEV transition.

      Membership is subject to unanimous consent of existing ZEV Alliance members. At the discretion of members, governments interested in joining the ZEV Alliance may be invited to attend the Annual Assembly and monthly meetings as observers for up to one year.

      IZEVA members posed outside of public transport after a meeting

      Member roles

      Members are expected to attend most monthly meetings, the Annual Assembly, and other ZEV Alliance meetings; participate actively in discussions by sharing information and lessons learned; and contribute to scoping and review of research projects.

      Member governments may also speak on public webinars and events to share their experiences and accomplishments with an international audience.
