Charging network for electric vehicles in Italy continues to grow and at the end of 2023 he could count on 50,678 charging stations for public use.. This is a very interesting fact that follows from the fifth edition of the study.”Charging infrastructure for public use in Italy“, presented Motus-E.
Another interesting fact is that our country is accelerating the creation of new infrastructure dedicated to electric vehicles. Actually in 2023 the network grew by 13,906 new charging points, of which 3.450 in the last quarter. Overall, this is a better result than in 2022, when 10,748 charging stations were installed.
Thus, over the past year, the infrastructure dedicated to electric vehicles has increased by 38%. Compared to 2021, it almost doubled (+94.7%). Together with the increase in the number of charging stations available to electricity consumers in our country, the number of higher power charging points is also increasing. According to the report, 22% of charging stations installed in 2023 have fast and ultra-fast DC current.
In more detail, at the end of 2023 there are 43,564 charging points in Italy with a capacity of less than 50 kW. On the other hand, there are 4579 of them with power ranging from 50 to 149 kW. Finally, there are 2,535 charging stations with a power of at least 149 kW.
How are they distributed? charging stations in Italy? 23% of all charging stations on the peninsula are concentrated in the south and islands, compared to 19% in Central and 58% in Northern Italy. The most “electrified” region is Lombardy with 9,395 charging stations. Next come Piedmont (5169), Veneto (4914), Lazio (4659) and Emilia-Romagna (4253).
The region that showed the greatest growth in 2023 was Lombardy, with 4,853 new charging stations. This is followed by Campania (+2691), Piedmont (+2519), Veneto (+2492) and Lazio (+1991). Instead, Rome is the city with the most charging points (3,588). Next come Milan (2883) and Naples (2652). However, if we take into account the number of charging points per km² of surface, Naples comes out on top (225 points per 100 km²), ahead of Milan (183 points per 100 km²) and Rome (67 points per 100 km²).
General, in 86% of Italy you can find at least one charging station within a 10 km radius.. This figure increases significantly as you approach urban centers and major cities. There can also always be up to 2,000 charging stations within a 10 km radius.
The number of charging stations in the region continues to grow highway. According to the report, as of December 31, 2023, their number reached 932, of which 61% have a capacity of more than 150 kW, compared to 496 recorded at the end of 2022. At least every third motorway service area is equipped with charging infrastructure. . This is an important step forward given the problems of the past.
The report also compares the situation in Italy. with indicators of major European countries.
With 23 public charging stations for every 100 electric vehicles in circulation, the Italian infrastructure is ahead of that of France (14 points for every 100 electric vehicles in circulation), Germany (10 points for every 100 electric vehicles in circulation) and the UK (10 points per every 100 electric vehicles in circulation), maintaining primacy even taking into account only DC fast charging points: Italy (3.4 points for every 100 electric vehicles in circulation), France (2.1 points for every 100 electric vehicles in circulation), Germany (2 points for every 100 electric vehicles in circulation), UK (1.5 points for every 100 electric vehicles in circulation).
