LOT-0001
LOT-0001 25-143
Lot 1.
Lot 1 includes highly attractive locations in the city center such as the so-called Conti parking lot directly adjacent to the pedestrian zone, a location on Rheinstraße south of the pedestrian zone, as well as a location on Viktoriastraße near the event and conference center "Gorch-Fock-Haus", the state stage, and the Hans-Beutz-Haus (city library/adult education center). In the far south of the city, there are two attractive locations with tourist significance in this lot (in Ahrstraße within walking distance to the well-known Kaiser-Wilhelm Bridge and directly at the Wattenmeer visitor center within walking distance to restaurants, the naval museum, and the dike).
In the rest of the city, the central location at Wiesenhof (district of Aldenburg) with central functions is particularly noteworthy.
The lot is supplemented by decentralized locations with high proportions of multi-family housing and townhouses in districts such as Aldenburg, Altengroden, Fedderwarden, Fedderwardergroden, Heppens, Neuengroden, Siebethsburg, and Voslapp.
The focus is on basic supply with a high number of AC charging points and a limited number of DC charging points. DC charging points are mandatory at the locations Conti parking lot (No. 238) and Grundschule Wiesenhof (70). These should be supplemented with AC charging points. At several other locations, a supply of DC charging points, possibly with lower charging capacity, is also feasible.

Lot 2.
Lot 2 includes several attractive locations around the shopping areas in the city center and in the secondary center Gökerstraße/Bismarckstraße, including in Ebertstraße near the train station/Nordseepassage shopping center, the parking lot Peterstraße/Mellumstraße, and the parking lot in Zedeliusstraße.
Other attractive locations with a mix of retail and neighborhood-related supply of charging infrastructure are located in the district of Voslapp and Altengroden as well as centrally in the district of Sengwarden.
Furthermore, the lot is characterized by locations to supply residential areas with detached single-family houses, townhouses, and multi-family housing without parking spaces with charging options and a correspondingly high expected and partially already communicated demand.
Only a portion of the parking spaces near the train station/Nordseepassage shopping center is specifically designated for fast charging infrastructure. Supply with DC charging infrastructure is, however, particularly feasible at locations with additional small-scale retail offerings in the vicinity.

The lot is complemented by locations in areas with townhouses and multi-family housing that are expected to have high demand. The car-sharing lot includes three locations where, in addition to the charging stations, car-sharing sites are to be created, which can be electrified by a car-sharing provider. These locations are to be appropriately prepared. More information is included in the service description. The lot does not contain any locations where DC charging infrastructure is to be provided as mandatory.

Particularly attractive locations are around the city center (district court, centrally at the edge of the pedestrian zone, and at the parking lot Mellumstraße Metzer Weg on the other side of the pedestrian zone), in the tourist area near the South Beach, as well as in the central supply area Werdumer Straße in Altengroden. The locations in residential areas are also very attractive due to their central location for example in Siebethsburg or downtown or dense residential buildings in the vicinity.

Other particularly attractive locations are located in Grenzstraße at the edge of the pedestrian zone, in the tourist area around the inner harbor (Kaiser-Wilhelm-Brücke and South Beach), in the southern city (Neckarstraße), and in Hansaviertel (Paul-Hug-Straße).

However, the other locations in Heppens such as Freiligrathstraße, at the family center East, in the villa district, and Tonndeich, as well as in Siebethsburg also show very high potential. Most locations are only suitable for normal charging infrastructure. The installation of fast charging infrastructure is planned at Bismarckplatz, and Gotthilf-Hagen-Platz also appears suitable.

Lot 7.
Lot 7 covers all municipal locations, for which the City of Wilhelmshaven is obliged to provide charging infrastructure under the Building Electromobility Infrastructure Act (GEIG) and where no charging infrastructure for electric service vehicles is already available or planned. The locations are distributed throughout the entire city area and are primarily intended for normal charging infrastructure. At individual locations, there are access restrictions for certain times or groups of people, but they are generally freely accessible for most of the day. Particularly noteworthy are the locations close to the city center such as the city library/adult education center in immediate proximity to the state stage, the pumping station, the primary school Rheinstraße, the city archive, and the recreational facility Krähenbusch. Very high demand is also expected at locations such as the city center primary school, the Rüstersiel primary school, the cemetery Friedensstraße, and the northern city locations due to use by residents, teachers, and/or guests.
Fast charging infrastructure is not mandatory in this lot, but may be sensible at some locations (for example VHS/city library).
