European Charging Network Facts
- Vehicle-to-Point Ratio: There are approximately 12 electric cars per public charging point in Europe, which is in line with the European Union's recommendation of 10–15 vehicles per connector.
- Fast Charging Penetration: Approximately 15% of all public charging points in Europe are High-Power Chargers (HPC) or fast DC chargers (50+ kW), facilitating long-distance travel.
- Deployment Leaders: The Netherlands, Germany, and France account for over 50% of all public charging points in the EU, highlighting a need for more balanced infrastructure distribution across Eastern and Southern Europe.
