Electric car charging network to exceed 800 MW by 2030

Greece’s electric vehicle charging network is expected to exceed a capacity of 800 MW by 2030, a level that would facilitate the development of electromobility so that one in three new vehicles can be electric by the end of the decade, according to the revised National Energy and Climate Plan.

In practical terms, this means charging stations will need to offer at least 1.3 KW for every purely electric vehicle and 0.8 KW for hybrid models.

Meanwhile, authorities are also promoting the development and use of smart systems for communication with charging infrastructure, their control, and possibilities provided to computer users for easier use of these systems.

The growth of charging infrastructure is expected to be promoted through a comprehensive approach combining tax incentives and subsidies. This strategy will be further bolstered by the implementation of mandatory charging infrastructure in suitable areas.

The integration of these measures with the deployment of intelligent systems promises to not only enhance charging efficiency, but also offers opportunities for domestic business expansion.
