Command-line tool and TypeScript library

ladesaeulen

A dependency-light TypeScript client + CLI for the Ladesäulenregister — the Bundesnetzagentur’s register of public EV charging stations in Germany (about 117,600 Ladeeinrichtungen as of October 2026). It lists the stations whose operators have completed the BNetzA’s notification procedure, so the real number of public stations is higher. Backed by a public ArcGIS FeatureServer. A bund.dev API.
