Introduction: After years of developing and promoting electric vehicles, the demand for EVs has increased dramatically, resulting in a surging need for charging infrastructure. As a result, the number of EV charging stations in Europe is growing exponentially.
AC Charger: AC chargers are the most widely used charging stations in Europe. They are slow to charge, but they are compatible with most EV models and can be installed almost anywhere. According to a recent report, by 2024, the total number of AC stations in Europe will have reached 3 million.
DC Charger: DC chargers have a higher charging speed than AC chargers and are usually found in public places. They require more significant investment in electrical infrastructure and are less compatible with some EV models. By 2024, the total number of DC stations in Europe is estimated to be 1.5 million.
Distribution of Charging Stations
The growth of EV charging stations is not evenly distributed across Europe. Countries like Norway and the Netherlands have the most charging stations per capita, while countries in Southern Europe, such as Spain and Italy, are lagging behind. By 2024, Western Europe is predicted to have the highest density of charging stations, with almost 50% of them expected to be located in the region.
In conclusion, the number of EV charging stations is expected to grow significantly in Europe by 2024. AC chargers will remain the most widely used charging stations, but DC chargers will become more prevalent. The distribution of charging stations across Europe is uneven, with Western Europe expected to have the highest density of charging stations.
