FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The number of charging points for electric vehicles in Germany has increased by more than 10% in the past three months to reach 39,538, energy industry association BDEW said on Wednesday.

Policymakers in Europe's biggest economy aim to cut emissions from transport by expanding the use of electric vehicles. Addressing drivers' concerns about where they can be charged is seen as vital to encouraging wider usage.
