The Netherlands is rapidly expanding the network of public charging points. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management announces that the progress report of the National Agenda Charging Infrastructure (NA) shows that an average of 1,600 public charging points per month are added. As a result, national coverage has risen to 83 percent. This is a growth of 7 percent compared to last year. The Netherlands thus has the highest number of public charging points of the European Union. With a loading option within walking distance everywhere, electric driving is also practically feasible for more and more Dutch people and companies.
State Secretary Thierry Aartsen (Public Transport and the Environment): “We achieve solid results thanks to a combination of smart investments, cooperation with regions and market parties and the use of data to place charging points where they are most needed. We actively tackle the places where no charging points can easily be done everywhere in the Netherlands. Due to this investment, both Laadings can be used to be easily, fast and a Laadingen; part for the switch to electric driving. ”
Clarity about rates
Steps have also been taken in the field of price transparency; A task group has been set up to make price posts uniform at fast -charging stations, so that in the near future everyone can easily see before the loading session at the post how much a charging session costs and how this price has come about. As a result, charging prices become just as transparent as tank prices in the near future.
Investments in future -proof connections and subsidies
To make it possible for trucks quickly and reliably on the way, the Ministry is investing € 65.5 million in the construction of power connections at care places along motorways, so that entrepreneurs with electric trucks can always fast charging along the road in the future. In addition, more than € 96 million in subsidies have been made available for the construction of charging infrastructure in logistics and construction, sectors that play an important role in making mobility more sustainable. Companies can use this to request support for public or private loading solutions, making it easier for them to make the switch to electric driving.
For the successful rollout of the charging network, governments, companies, network operators and knowledge institutions, coordinated, coordinated hands in the National Agenda Charging Infrastructure.
