Germany already has 0.65€/liter ($2.60/gal) fuel taxes, and on top of that there's the regular 19% VAT.
One issue the German state is trying to solve is that even charging stations that aren't economically profitable can be valuable to the overall system. Something along the lines of "you barely ever need that charger, but having it available solves range problems that would otherwise prevent you from getting an EV".
