EU measures against CO2 emissions: expansion of the charging infrastructure
At the same time, according to the commission, the expansion of the charging infrastructure is to be promoted. By the end of last year, there were around 260,000 publicly accessible charging points in the 27 member states of the European Union - more than two thirds of them in the three countries of the Netherlands, France and Germany alone. The aim now is to have charging points at least 60 kilometers apart along the most important roads.
