Source: ACEA data; full-electric battery cars To accelerate the development of electromobility, it is necessary to develop the infrastructure of charging stations for electric vehicles. Although the infrastructure is being developed, only a few EU countries have adequate EV charging facilities. In 2021, the Netherlands had the highest number of EV charging points (64.3 per 100 km), followed by Luxembourg (57.9/100 km) and Germany (25.8/100 km). At the other end of the ranking are countries with less than one charging point per 100 km of roads (including motorways, national and local roads). These countries are among those with the lowest market share of new EVs due to a lack of infrastructure.
