Europe exceeds 900,000 Charge Points
More than 900,000 semi-public and public charging points are connected to the European grid. One in five of these chargers is in the Netherlands.
In July, the number of charging points in Europe exceeded 900,000 (including semi-public and public charging points). According to the new charging station monitoring data, of these charging points, 169,216 are located in the Netherlands, accounting for 19.5% of the total European network (the following percentages are all European percentages). 152,332 (17.59%) are in Germany. 119,481 (13.79%) are in France. 82,469 (9.52%) are in the UK. 69,719 (8.05%) are in Belgium. 50,496 (5.83%) are in Italy. 46,644 (5.39%) are in Sweden. 35,326 (4.08%) are in Spain. 30,770 (3.55%) are in Denmark. 29,961 (3.46%) are in Norway. 24,225 (2.8%) in Austria. 15,635 (1.81%) in Switzerland. 14,342 (1.66%) in Finland. 10,703 (1.24%) in Portugal. 8,405 (0.97%) in Poland. 6,399 (0.74%) in Greece.
However, the countries with the highest recent growth rates are not the top three, but Belgium (190%) and Finland (158%) (between January 2023 and July 2024). It should be noted that Greece's growth during this period even reached a staggering 480%, but its overall distribution level is very low, accounting for only about 1% in Europe. Despite the rapid growth, it is still some distance away from achieving the ambitious goals set by the European Union. According to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), by 2030, it is estimated that 8.8 million charging points will need to be built in Europe.
The latest test data shows that AC accounts for 84% of the network, while for fast chargers, analysts distinguish between DC and HPC devices, which account for 7% and 10% of the market share respectively.
The Charge Point Monitor also provides information on the number of charging points in European city centers. This also reflects the high maturity of the Dutch market, with Amsterdam (13,286), Rotterdam (8,538) and The Hague (6,967) in the top four. Only the metropolis of London (11,321) ranks in the middle. Beyond this, Scandinavian cities stand out: Stockholm and Gothenburg, with 5,773 and 5,067 charging points respectively, reflect Sweden's commitment to developing its urban charging network. Oslo and Antwerp follow closely behind with 4,205 and 3,983 charging points respectively.
The data shows that the even distribution of electric vehicle charging infrastructure needs to be greatly improved. It is crucial to ensure that charging facilities are fairly distributed across regions. Urban facilities are well developed, but the service strength of facilities in many rural and remote areas still needs to be strengthened. This imbalance needs to be addressed through collaboration between government and private sector stakeholders.
