Netherlands. Experts have highlighted that Spain still has a long way to go however. The country has stated in its Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan its goal is to have more than 100,000 electric vehicle chargers by the end of 2023. Spain also has a relatively low volume of electric vehicles, accounting for just 9 per cent of all vehicles.

Although the data shows an improvement in access to electric chargers in Europe, there is still work to be done. Forty­two per cent of the European Union’s total chargers are in Germany and the Netherlands, an access gap that needs to be bridged.
