emove-austria.gv.at: New central online platform consolidates information on e-mobility Mobility Minister Hanke sees 2025 as the “turning year” in e-mobility
With the presentation of the new online platform emove-austria.gv.at, the Mobility Ministry (BMIMI) is setting another milestone for the mobility transition in Austria. The website, developed as part of the eMOVE Austria initiative, offers for the first time a central, transparent, and continuously updated overview of figures, data, facts, and subsidies related to e-mobility.
At the same time, Mobility Minister Peter Hanke provided a comprehensive review of the e-mobility year 2025 at a press conference and speaks of a turning point for e-mobility in Austria.
"E-mobility is a central pillar on our way to the mobility transition, politically as well as socially," emphasized Mobility Minister Peter Hanke. "With eMOVE Austria, we have set clear signals in the past year through targeted subsidies, the massive expansion of charging infrastructure, and now also through transparent information. The new platform emove-austria.gv.at represents our aim to create trust through knowledge and to take people on this journey."
Central platform for information, transparency, and trust
The new website emove-austria.gv.at has been developed over the past months by the Mobility Ministry together with AustriaTech and OLÉ – Austria's main office for electromobility, located there. It will serve in the future as the central contact point for all questions around e-mobility in Austria, from vehicle registrations and charging infrastructure to legal conditions and subsidy measures.
The goal of the platform is to provide sound decision-making foundations for private households as well as companies, municipalities, and organizations, and thereby to reduce existing reservations about e-mobility. In addition to a comprehensive section on figures and data, the website offers structured information along the four pillars: eRide, eCharge, eBus, and eTruck, along with an extensive FAQ and glossary section, as well as current news.
Platform provides reliable data as a basis for decision-making
Martin Russ, Managing Director of AustriaTech, emphasizes the platform's importance for different target groups: "emove-austria.gv.at consolidates the central developments of e-mobility in Austria for the general public-based on reliable data. Gathering, processing, and classifying this information from various sources is an important step to providing robust guidance for companies, municipalities, and citizens."
E-mobility year 2025: Significant progress in all areas
Looking back over the year 2025, Mobility Minister Hanke painted a clear picture. E-mobility is developing extremely positively and gaining significant importance across all vehicle segments. For instance, in the year 2025, over 21 percent of all new registrations in the passenger car sector were electric, a sharp increase compared to around 17 percent in 2024. Overall, there are now more than 250,000 electric passenger cars on Austria's roads.
A clear trend is also evident in public transportation. One in five newly registered buses in 2025 was an e-bus, and in the last months of the year, it was as much as one in two. In total, around 500 e-buses are already operating in Austria. In the commercial vehicle sector, the number of heavy e-lorries in classes N2 and N3, as well as heavy articulated lorries, increased significantly: 5.9 percent of new registrations in 2025 were for electrically powered vehicles, compared to approximately 2 percent in 2024.
Ultra-fast charging points deliver a total output of one gigawatt
The development of the charging infrastructure was particularly strong. Within a year, the number of public charging points grew by around 9,000 to over 35,000. The number of ultra-fast charging points with over 150 kilowatts charging capacity has more than doubled to around 4,000 and now reaches a total output of around one gigawatt.
"These figures clearly show we are on the right path," says Hanke. "The technical development is there. Our task now is to embed this in people's minds. A platform like emove-austria.gv.at helps with exactly that."
