The distribution of EV charging points in the EU does not keep up with the rising demand for EVs
28 October 2020, 04:04:07

"This is potentially very dangerous, as we could soon reach a point where growth of electric vehicle uptake stalls if consumers conclude there are simply not enough charging points where they need to travel, or that they have to queue too long for a fast charger," warned ACEA Director General, Eric-Mark Huitema.
In addition, ACEA's findings show that just 1 in 7 charging points in the EU is a fast charger at the moment. Only 28,586 charging points are suitable for fast charging (with a capacity of ≥22kW), while normal points (<22kW) account for the vast majority (171,239). Moreover, the existing infrastructure remains unvevenly distributed throughout the EU. The Netherlands, Germany, France, and the UK cover 27% of the EU's total surface area but account for 75% of the charging points.Source
