The future is electric

Infrastructure

In Italy, the public network continues to expand: from 64,391 points at the end of 2024 to 67,561 as of June 30, 2025 (+3,170; +4.9%), with 45% of highway service areas already equipped. In Spain, the growth is equally evident: from 38,275 points at the end of 2024 to 48,070 as of August 31, 2025 (+9,795; +25.6%), driven by new high-power activations in the regions of highest demand.

Benchmark

In the first half of 2025, several European countries reported large increases in the number of public charging stations. in Germany, nearly 20,000 new points were installed, bringing the total to about 184,000 (up 12% from the end of 2024). In the Netherlands, points are approaching 198,000, an estimated increase of 25-30%. In France, public points reached about 174,500, an increase of 29% over the previous year.

Distribution

The Spanish network is concentrated around the main demand poles: Catalonia, Madrid and Andalusia collect more than 48 percent of public points, facilitating interregional travel and tourist flows on the busiest routes. In Italy, a rebalancing between highway nodes and urban-territorial coverage is noticeable, thanks to the opening of new HPC sites and more widespread planning along the major national road network.

Power

In Italy, among the points activated from September 2024 to September 2025 (10,569 in total), 48% are fast and ultrafast charging stations, confirming a mix increasingly oriented toward long-distance travel. In Spain, the quantum leap comes in growth rates: +75.69% of points between 50 and 250 kW and +57.14% of those over 250 kW in the first eight months of 2025, signaling a shift in the mix toward increasingly fast recharging.
