Abstract — According to the climate targets of the German government, CO2 emissions are to be reduced by 65% by the year 2030 compared to the reference year 1990. For the transport sector, the Federal Climate Protection Act specifies a reduction of approx. 43%. This poses a particular challenge, as emission levels are at the same level as 20 years ago. In order to improve the climate footprint of the transport sector in the short term, the main focus is on electric mobility. As part of sector coupling, vehicles become electricity consumers and are dependent on climate-friendly power generation and the expansion of the German power grid. A prerequisite for linking the energy sector and road transport is the installation of publicly accessible charging infrastructure. In order to be able to view this charging infrastructure geographically, the RLI has developed a location tool called TracBEV. The goal of this thesis is to extend an existing prototype of the tool and improve the methodology for placing charging points.
