EV Charging Infrastructure of EU in 2021

We may all know that there are 3 broad categories of EV charging infrastructure exist today:

1.Alternate-current (AC) charging, also known as level 1 or level 2. ... 

2.DC charging, also known as level 3 or direct-current fast charging (DCFC). ...

3.Wireless charging. This system uses electromagnetic waves to charge batteries. There is usually a charging pad connected to a wall socket and a plate attached to the vehicle. Somebody also divide EV charging modes into mode1, mode2, mode3, type A, type B, Type 1, Type 2... for more info plz refer to Ivy Metering Co., Ltd.

Why do some countries in Europe have a higher number of charging points compared to other countries?

According to the ACEA, adapting EV infrastructure highly correlates with the EV market share and with a country's gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. Which shows that affordability remains a major barrier to consumers in buying EV. Which in turn has a high effect on the availability of charging stations across the country.You can especially see that there is quite a big difference between the Eastern and Western European countries as well as the Northern versus Southern countries. Northern/Western countries on average have a higher market share and higher GDP per capita.

Countries with the highest market share of electric vehicles:

1. Sweden – 32.2% (GDP of €45,610)
2. Netherlands – 25.0% (GDP of €45,790)
3. Finland – 18.1% (GDP of €42,940)
4. Denmark – 16.4% (GDP of €53,470)
5. Germany – 13.5% (GDP of €40,070)

Countries with the lowest market share of electric vehicles:

1. Cyprus – 0.5% (GDP of €23,580)
2. Lithuania – 1.1% (GDP of €17,460)
3. Estonia – 1.8 % (GDP of €20,440)
4. Croatia – 1.9% (GDP of €12,130)
5. Poland – 1.9% (GDP of €13,600)

What’s the Division of EV charging stations in EU？

ACEA 2021 update of the annual ‘Making the Transition to Zero-Emission Mobility’ report of EU area.

1.Netherlands –  66,665 EV charging points

2.France  – 45,751 EV charging points

3.Germany –  44,538 EV charging points
4.Italy  – 13,073 EV charging points

5.Sweden  –  10,370 EV charging points

6.The rest of the 27 countries  –  less than 8,500 EV charging points

7.EV charging stations are Lithuania  –  174

8.Malta – 96

9.Cyprus with 70 public charging points in total

(Data only for reference and it’s different everyday.)

What’s the future of EU public charging infrastructure?

To be able to succeed, the EU public charging infrastructure needs to set up deployment targets for each country for 2025 and 2030 as well as corresponding to the 1.3 million public charge points EU-wide in 2025 and close to 3 million in 2030, which need to be deployed to reach the goals of decreasing CO2 emissions. As per the calculations of ACEA's study, the European Union will require at least six million public EV charging stations to achieve its goal of cutting 50% CO2 emissions by 2030.

After this study which we borrowed on Electric Vehicle Charging infrastructure in Europe anno 2021 | Intertraffic, we can easily know that the development of EV charger parts will increase sharply too.
