The charging infrastructure availability will continue to improve more and more in 2021. Public authorities are introducing legislation to help individuals be better equipped. A European directive, further enforced by local laws, facilitates the procedures for the inhabitants of collective buildings to acquire recharging infrastructure, and makes this equipment mandatory in the construction of new buildings.
In addition, car manufacturers and private operators are rolling out, via consortiums, easily accessible fast or semi-fast charging networks, with or without subscription. According to Groupe Renault, the number of public recharging points is approaching 200,000 in Europe and it will grow to reach 3 million by 2030. In France, for example, the goal is to reach 100,000 stations in 2022, and then continue to accelerate with a target of 1,5 million by 2035.
