The top-ups are there, but the incentives are missing

The refills are there, they are installed continuously while the sales stagnate. And Motus-e is also calling for the incentives to be launched.

The top-ups are there: we are at 54,164 stations

In two years the number of charging points has practically doubled, from 27,857 to 54,164 units. And the installations continue apace, with another + 31.5% compared to 2023. Let’s talk about 12,991 units in the 12 months and 3,486 units since the beginning of the year. Important detail for those who travel frequently: the incidence of high-power infrastructure is growing, with 34% of the points installed in the last year being fast and ultra-fast. The top 5 of the Regions with the most charging points still sees the prevailing Lombardy (10,158 charging points, +3,497 in the last 12 months). Before Piedmont (5,841 points, +1,626 in 12 months), Veneto (5,167 points, +998), Lazio (5,141 points, +1,109) ed Emilia Romagna (4,516, +784 units). As for the Provinces, Rome remains in first place (4,006 points, +893 in the 12 months), followed by Milan (3,246 points, +937), Naples (2,679 points, +1,201), Turin (2,429 points, +564) e Brescia (1,600 points, +732). Still in evidence is Naples, the metropolitan city where the infrastructure is advancing most rapidly.

942 points on the motorway, service areas covered at 40%

On highways the charging points are at 942 units (from 559 in March 2023 and 150 in March 2022), of which 85% are of the fast direct current type. And 61% exceeds 150 kW of power. The 40% of motorway service areas It is now equipped with charging. “The extraordinary development recorded in recent years is excellent news for the country and for those who want to switch to electric mobility. In view of the implementation of the new Ecobonus, which we hope will soon see the light to avoid the physiological paralysis of the market car following the announcement of the new incentives”, comments the president of Motus-E, Fabio Pressi. Pressi points out that such a large network has so far been supported almost exclusively by private investments. “The progressive growth of electricity in circulation, which it will be able to find also in company fleets a very important lever, it will play a key role. Also to preserve the economic advantage of electric charging compared to traditional power supplies, which are more exposed to international tensionsthe”
