CDU demands new e-charging station: Central questions about the location!

The CDU parliamentary group in the municipal council of Schönenberg-Kübelberg has made an application for the construction of a second charging station for electric cars and bicycles in the community. The only existing loading point in Rathausstraße was out of operation for a long time, but could be repaired by the Palatinate. However, the CDU sees the need for an additional charging option, since the community grows and more space is needed for electric vehicles. According to Rheinpfalz Kübelberg, which is centrally located in the community.

From the village square, various facilities such as gastronomy, event rooms, shops and public transport connections can be reached in a few minutes on foot. Guided hiking tours also start from the village square. This central location could promote the use of the new charging station and contribute to the further integration of electric vehicles into the everyday life of citizens.

controversy and concerns

The decision to build a second charging station is not undisputed. Nikolas Bremm from the SPD expressed concerns about the location because he sees the character of the village square endangered. However, he emphasizes that he is basically not against a second charging station, but indicates possible follow -up costs that are connected to the establishment and operation of a further charging option.

Bernadette Bauer from the CDU argues that the costs should largely be borne by the operator. This could minimize the financial risk for the community. On the other hand, the Free Voter Community (FWG) sees no need for a second station and does not support the original application.

future prospects of charging infrastructure

With regard to the development of the charging infrastructure in small municipalities such as Schönenberg-Kübelberg, it is crucial that cities and municipalities actively deal with the topic. Even if this is not expressly defined as a municipal task, it is becoming increasingly important to identify suitable locations for charging options. The guideline of the DStGB emphasizes that the creation of a comprehensive charging infrastructure is essential so that it is not as a gaps in rural regions. It is not only necessary to plan public charging points, but also to include the relevant actors in the process to ensure successful implementation, as in DStGB described.

The administration of the local council was commissioned to search for a suitable location for the new charging station and to check the possible costs and funding options. This could be the first step towards a better charging infrastructure in Schönenberg-Kübelberg and contribute to the promotion of electromobility in the region.
