The European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) recently released a report showing that in 2023, more than 150,000 new public charging piles for electric vehicles will be added in the EU, with a cumulative number of more than 630,000. ACEA predicts that by 2030, the EU will need 8.8 million public charging piles to meet consumer demand, equivalent to 1.2 million new ones every year, which is eight times the number installed last year.
“In recent years, the construction of charging infrastructure has lagged behind the sales of pure electric vehicles, and we are very worried about this.” ACEA Director General Sigrid de Vries said that more importantly, the insufficient charging infrastructure may further increase in the future. expansion, even far exceeding the European Commission’s estimates.
According to Reuters, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) recently released a report showing that in 2023, more than 150,000 new public charging piles for electric vehicles will be added in the EU, with a cumulative number of more than 630,000.
The European Commission stated that to achieve the goal of 3.5 million public charging piles by 2030, approximately 410,000 new charging piles will be needed every year. But ACEA warned that consumer demand for public charging piles has quickly exceeded this target. “Between 2017 and 2023, EU electric vehicle sales will grow three times faster than the rate of charging pile installation.”
In addition, the distribution of public charging piles in the EU is uneven. The report shows that nearly two-thirds of the EU’s charging piles are concentrated in Germany, France and the Netherlands. ACEA said there is a correlation between good charging infrastructure and the number of new electric vehicles sold. Germany, France, the Netherlands and Italy are among the top five in the EU in terms of electric vehicle sales and charging pile ownership.
“In recent years, the construction of charging infrastructure has lagged behind the sales of pure electric vehicles, and we are very worried about this.” ACEA Director General Sigrid de Vries said that more importantly, the charging infrastructure is insufficient. It is likely to expand further in the future, even well beyond the European Commission’s estimates.
ACEA predicts that by 2030, the EU will need 8.8 million public charging piles to meet consumer demand, equivalent to 1.2 million new ones every year, which is eight times the number installed last year.
“Investment in public charging infrastructure must be accelerated if we are to close the gap between infrastructure development and electric vehicle ownership to meet Europe’s ambitious CO2 reduction targets,” de Vries added
