Electric cars: Few loading points remain in Greece compared to EU countries
With e-mobility making further progress in both autonomy and safety as well as sales, the biggest problem that needs to be addressed to give a boost is the creation of more loading stations.
Today, out of 224,237 loading points available in the European Union, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), almost 30% of loading stations are located in the Netherlands with 66,665 stations, in France there are 45,751 stations (20.4%) and in Germany 44,538 stations (19.9%).
These three leading countries in the field of loading points cover 23% of the total EU area, but represent 70% of all ECV loading points in the EU.
The remaining 30% of the reception is scattered in the remaining 77% of the EU. Slightly behind is Italy with 13,073 stations (5.8%) but with a very big difference from Germany. Sweden completes the top five countries with the most loading stations (10,370 stations).
On the other hand, a huge country like Romania, which was about six times larger than the Netherlands, has only 493 loading points or 0.2% of the EU as a whole. The countries that have fewer official loading points are Cyprus with 70 points, Malta with 96, Lithuania with 174, Bulgaria with 194 and Greece with 275 points.
It is noted that there is a serious shortage of electrical charging points along road networks in most EU Member States, according to ACEA data. The findings show that 10 countries do not have a single charger for every 100 kilometers of main roads. Specifically, 18 EU Member States have less than 5 loading points per 100 km of road.
The five countries with the most chargers per 100 kilometers are the Netherlands with 47.5 chargers, Luxembourg with 34.5, Germany with 19.4, Portugal with 14.9 and Austria with 6.1 chargers per 100 kilometers In contrast, the countries with the fewest chargers are Lithuania and Greece with 0.2 chargers per 100 kilometers, Poland with 0.4, Latvia and Romania with 0.5 chargers per 200 kilometers.
«Consumers will not be able to change zero-emission vehicles if there are not enough loading and refueling stations along the roadsACEA General Manager Eric-Mark Huitema warns thatEnormous progress should be made in developing slots across the EU in a very short time. The progress made in some Western European countries is encouraging, but so are other countries now lagging behind.».
