Europe is ahead of its stated policy goal of one charging station per 10 electric vehicles, but the number of charging points will have to rise quickly to keep up with an EV fleet that BloombergNEF projects to reach more than 30 million by 2030. The continent will add its 200,000th point this year, and the number of EVs is expected to reach 2 million next year. Germany, the Netherlands, France and the U.K. lead in EV infrastructure, accounting for 66 percent of charging points and 60 percent of the increase in stations since 2014.
