Over 560,000 publicly accessible charging points were installed in the EU by mid-2023, a 50 percent increase over the previous year and more than double the total from mid-2021. While expansion in the United States continues to be limited, China is the global leader in charging infrastructure for light-duty vehicles, with nearly 2.15 million publicly accessible charging points by mid-2023. In terms of access, there is one charging point for every 9.4 vehicles in China, compared to 16.6 vehicles in the EU and 20.6 vehicles in the United States. China’s infrastructure also stands out in its significant share of fast (DC) charging, making up 42% of public charging points, versus only 14% in the EU and 26% in the United States.
