Shortage of Models, Not Charging Points, Hampers EV Sales in Europe
European demand for electric cars is being held back by a skimpy choice of vehicles, not a shortage of public places to charge them, says the European Federation for Transport and Environment.

European demand for electric cars is being held back by a skimpy choice of vehicles, not a shortage of public places to charge them, says the European Federation for Transport and Environment.
T&E’s analysis says Europe currently averages five EVs per charger, well within the 10 cars per charger ratio recommended by the European Commission. The actual ratio will reach 10:1 by 2020, assuming EU members meet their EV sales targets.
The report figures there also will be at least one high-power charging station every 40 km along European highways by 2020. That concentration is one-third better than the EC’s recommendation.
T&E notes that growth in EV sales will require additional charge points both before and after 2020. The full nine-page report can be viewed as a pdf file HERE.
