An increase that, according to Motus-E, should be further accelerated thanks to the infrastructure that will be built through PNRR.
Looking at the new report in more detail, out of the current 45,210 charging points, 39,759 are AC 43kW or less, 2,233 DC 44kW to 99kW, and 3,045 over 100kW. . A total of 14,506 charging points have been installed in the last 12 months.
