The European Union aims to install a fast electric charging station every 60 km on the continent’s motorways.
It has been a long wait, but the EU is finally planning to install more electric charging stations across Europe, especially along major motorways. Just last week, the European Parliament voted in favor of including electric charging stations. Yesterday, it was the turn of the European Council to endorse the presence of fast chargers on motorways.
The EU’s objectives
Starting in 2025, at least one fast charging station must be installed every 60 km along EU motorways. A fast charger must deliver at least 150 kW of power. But that’s not all; trucks will also benefit from this reform. For them, chargers must have a minimum power of 350 kW.
Rules for hydrogen stations
The new mobility initiatives are not only for electric cars; hydrogen refueling stations will also be included. These stations must be present on motorways every 200 km starting from 2030.
Significant development in France
In France, drivers are fortunate. Last May, the country exceeded 100,000 charging points nationwide, a target set by the government. This high number is thanks to the arrival of many operators, such as Engie recently, and also on the parking lots of Intermarché stores.
