New leap forward in charging stations for electric cars in Italy and, in reality, also in Puglia and Basilicata within a year there has been a boom in the installation of charging points even if their number is significantly lower than other northern regions.
The photograph of the trend of the market for electric cars and charging systems was taken by «Motus-E», the first Italian association established on the initiative of the main industrial operators, the academic world and environmental associations to encourage the transition of the national transport sector towards the adoption of sustainable means.
On the entire national territory at the end of the first quarter it recorded a progress of 31.5% compared to 2023. In particular, it emerges that the charging points in the Peninsula have reached 54,164, marking an increase of 12,991 units in the 12 months and of 3,486 units since the start of the year. In two years the number of charging points has practically doubled, from 27,857 to 54,164 units. On motorways the charging points stand 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% even exceed 150 kW of power. 40% of motorway service areas are now equipped with charging infrastructure.
In Puglia, the charging points (alternating current and direct current) are just over 1,700 and just 316 in Basilicata. Salento is the province with the most electric charging stations (487), while the BAT province has less than 100. «The extraordinary development recorded in recent years by this infrastructure 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 car market following the announcement of the new incentives”, commented the president of Motus-E, Fabio Pressi , observing that faced with such a large infrastructure…
