Insist on charging station: electric cars are in trouble due to shortage | Interior

That is the view of CEO Jeroen Kruisweg of ALD Automotive Netherlands, the Dutch branch of Europe’s largest lease company, in an explanation of the company’s annual results. “I am very concerned about the charging infrastructure in this country. At the current sales level of the number of electric cars, 120 charging points must be installed per day. There are now only around 23 a day. “

ALD has 71,700 lease cars in the Netherlands. Of the lease contracts that the group sold last year, one in five was an electric car. Kruisweg: “We expect this growth to continue this year, because a lot of new, cheaper electric models are coming on the market.” Research by Over Morgen, part of Arcadis, confirms the shortage. The Hague serves the electric car driver the best, while that municipality also only provides 80% of the charging requirements.
