The dramatic increase in the number of EVs in Europe is promising a move away from fossil fuel cars. But access to charging is a significant concern.<\/p>\n

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are becoming increasingly popular in Europe. In 2022, the number of fully electric passenger cars in the EU increased by 58 per cent compared to 2021 – from 1.9 million to 3.1 million.<\/p>\n

Between 2019 and 2022, this number soared by more than 400 per cent.<\/p>\n

This is a hugely significant step for energy in terms of transitioning towards net zero as the impact of climate change has been particularly evident with increasing temperature changes in recent years.<\/p>\n

While electric passenger cars and other electric vehicles will be key for decarbonising the transport sector, a more expansive charging infrastructure is needed to encourage uptake.<\/p>\n

“Access to charging is a significant concern,” a report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) published in June underlines.<\/p>\n

A third of respondents in six European countries – France, the UK, Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands – reported that there were no charging stations for electric cars within 3 km of their homes, according to the OECD’s 2022 Environmental Policies and Individual Behaviour Change Survey.<\/p>\n

This rate ranged from 22 per cent in the Netherlands to 43 per cent in France, closely followed by Belgium (42 per cent).<\/p>\n

On the other hand, 24 per cent of respondents in these European countries said that they did not know whether charging stations<\/a> were available close to their homes or not.<\/p>\n

A quarter of them reported that there are charging stations available at home, at work or in car parks, with another 18 per cent stating that charging stations for electric cars <\/a>were available within 3 km of their homes.<\/p>\n
