All data was sourced from publicly available sources.We have done our best to remove duplicates anderrors. Overall, we are confident that the data closelyreflectsthe state of charging infrastructure inEurope. The data was collected in February 2025.The following pages aim to summarize the current state and future outlook of EV charging infrastructure inEurope (with a particularly close look at Germany and the Netherlands). Please keep in mind that we rely onpublicly available data and, given the sheer amount and our limited resources, we are unable to verify everydetail. When reading this report, it’s important to note the points below.Things to noteDataGrid connection point (GCP) – The specific location where a grid user is physically connected to the gridinfrastructure.BEV/EV – Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are fully-electric plug-in vehicles. For the purpose of thisreport, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are discounted and we focus only on passenger cars.DefinitionsNormal chargers: Below 100 kWWe then further break down normal chargers into:Charger categories – There are various definitions out there to categorize charge points by their speed. Wego with the following:Slowchargers:≤7.4kW
Average chargers:7.4kW
