Insufficient Charging Infrastructure Hinders EV Adoption and Exacerbates Transport Poverty
The Social Market Foundation (SMF) has identified insufficient charging infrastructure as a major barrier to addressing transport poverty, which constrains mobility and harms the economy due to inadequate or unaffordable transport. Zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) offer a solution with lower lifetime costs compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, but the slow installation of public charging points is undermining progress. Europe needs to install 1.2 million public charging points annually by 2030, compared to the current rate of just over 210,000. The report suggests measures such as social leasing schemes to incentivize charging infrastructure deployment and promote sustainable mobility.
