We analyzed data from the European Commission’s TEN-T network to see how far Europe still is from reaching its 2030 target for EV charging infrastructure.
The map shows the distance to the nearest public charging point. Red areas showing regions where drivers need to travel more than 40 km to find one.

I hate it when I’m crossing the Icelandic Highland desert in my Nissan Leaf and can’t find a charging station.
I miss being in the stats… 🇬🇧
:-(. . .
Weird metric. I have driven through Norway from south to north and back again with an EV that only does 260 km on a full charge. No problems at all
With a few exceptions, is this not more or less a map of where people live?
That bubble in Germany is quite weirdly shaped…
(Edit: I do believe incorrect, as the bubble includes Magdeburg – a major city (which of cause has multipleEV chargers)
So UK is or is not part of Europe?
Doesn’t mean much as most of the work building this infrastructure is invisible and progress is visible only at the last stages.
It takes a lot of planning, land purchase, grid upgrades, new lines and other work to build charging infrastructure. Building chargers themselves is the last stage of a long project. The target might not be reached, until 2030, but the current numbers don’t mean that much. The real progress will be visible in the last few years.
This map looks too optimistic. Must be including every pointless 0-50kW charger too. Or some 11kW chargers in the garage under a hotel.
Make one with only 150kW+ so you can see where driving EVs actually works without 2 hour charging stops.
