ACEA believes there are not enough electric charging stations to keep up with demand for electric cars

28/10/2020 (Agence Europe)The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) has published a new study showing a delay in the deployment of electric terminals to support the growth of electric cars. According to the report, sales of electric cars in the Union have increased by 110% over the last 3 years, while over the same period the number of charging points has only increased by 58%, to less than 200,000 in total. Worse, only four Member States (the Netherlands, Germany, France and the United Kingdom) concentrate 75% of charging points at present. Some Member States such as Cyprus (38 terminals in total) or Greece (61) have accumulated a very significant backlog. The organisation therefore needs to speed up the revision of the European directive on alternative fuel infrastructures. For more information: https://bit.ly/2JfKa4H (PH)
