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.
The UK is not that big, that map is hilarious
40 KM is considered a long distance? Maybe for my e-bike.
the colors are a terrible choice, it looks like coverage is amazing when its the opposite
Since they heavily started in 2023 thats means in 2 years they are through 26% of goal, so they are more or less on target.
Good thing there’s still 5 years to go? Lmao
What a misleading map. OP, you should be ashamed of yourself.
To me, the coverage looks incredible from this map. You can basically drive from the North Sea to the Adriatic and never be more than 2 kilometers from an EV charger.
Can we not be dumb and instead overlay a population density map on this please?
I dont believe this map at all, it doesnt make sense at all. How is norway the country with the biggest implementaition of ev’s the worst lol. What a fucking useless map haha
Mandatory xkcd

Any EV, even most PHEV, can do way more than 40km, so the metric is weird.
The number and reliable availability of chargers is way more important.
A literal glacier is marked as red here, no shit there are no chargers there
Hate it when I’m in the Arctic in my Tesla and can’t find a charging station
The United Kingdom is in Europe.
Seems like pretty good pace actually, 1/4 of the way there with 5 more years to go
Is the the EU or Europe?
Because the UK is very much still physically in Europe…
