Berlin Launches Public EV Charging Map With Live Status and Prices

It enables the first vendor‑independent view of contract‑free charging prices in Berlin.

Overview

  • The new VIZ platform lists about 2,000 station locations with roughly 3,000 public charging points, showing real‑time availability, out‑of‑service status, connector types, and ad‑hoc prices.
  • Initial coverage reflects data from Berliner Stadtwerke, Qwello, and Ubitricity, capturing around 80% of public chargers, with additional providers planned this year.
  • The dataset is hosted on the Verkehrsinformationszentrale’s Digitale Plattform Stadtverkehr and is available for embedding by third‑party map services, including price information.
  • Only chargers in the public street space are included at launch, excluding semi‑public sites such as supermarket or petrol‑station car parks.
  • The SenMVKU’s Ladeinfrastrukturbüro consolidated the records over roughly three years and will add details on accessibility and parking‑bay sizes through continuous updates.
