The Automobile Builders Association estimates that all of these recharging points will be necessary to meet the environmental targets set.
The European Union aims to reduce its C02 emissions by 55%. The goal is to have at least 30 million zero-emission cars on their roads by 2030. However, according to the Association of European Automobile Manufacturers (ACEA) to achieve these objectives, some 60 million public and private charging points will be necessary throughout the continent.
Europe expects 50% of the vehicles sold this year to be plug-in.
European manufacturers have requested that the next revision of the European Union regulation be based on “strict” objectives for the commissioning of charging infrastructure. They indicate that, at present, companies are not prepared to adapt their technologies and achieve new goals. A link must be achieved between the C0₂ emission reduction targets and the charging point deployment targets.
“Given the long technology development and production cycles of the automotive industry, it is simply not possible to change any technical parameters of vehicles so late if those models are to be ready on the market by 2025,” ACEA said.
The European authorities must commit to intensify the deployment of electrical charging points.
On the other hand, the Association is open when it comes to tightening the C0₂ emissions targets for 2030. As long as the European authorities and the member states commit to intensify the deployment of electrical charging points.
For example, if the aim is to reduce emissions by 50% with electrified vehicles representing 50% of total registrations, about 6 million public charging points would be necessary.
According to the manufacturers, some 60 million public and private charging points will be needed in Europe. As well as 1,000 public hydrogen charging stations to meet the environmental goals imposed by 2030.
