Europe's Charging Infrastructure Gap
Europe is measuring its progress against two benchmarks. According to the European Commission, the EU will require approximately 3.5 million charging points by 2030. At the current rate of roughly 150,000 new points a year, the continent falls significantly short of the needed pace, since hitting 3.5 million would mean around 520,000 installations each year. The car industry's view is tougher: the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) argues 8.8 million will be needed by 2030, which implies about 1.5 million per year.
