28% of municipalities expanded their charging networks in the last quarter of the year
On 28 February, the Danish Ministry of Transport released a report on the development of charging infrastructure and the rise in green vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2021. According to the report’s findings, last year saw a sharp increase in the number of publicly available charging points across the country.
In the last three months of 2021, around 28% of municipalities expanded their charging networks and infrastructure so that by the end of the year, there were 66,000 electric vehicles and 4,850 publicly accessible charging points in 95 municipalities. This, according to the Ministry, corresponds to 1 charging point for around 14 electric cars.
“The green transition is the biggest and most important task of our generation. The transport area is central, and therefore, as Minister of Transport, I want to focus on possibilities for pushing for more climate-friendly transport. Here, more electric cars are part of the solution, and there will be no increase in green cars if the number of charging stations does not follow,” commented the Danish Minister of Transport, Trine Bramsen.
Minister Bramsen further noted that having proper and sufficient charging infrastructure makes it easier for citizens to opt for climate-friendly vehicles; that is, using electric cars then becomes as easy and convenient as driving conventional ones.
According to the Ministry, Frederiksberg Municipality has the most charging points in relation to population. More specifically, it has 2.7 charging points per 1,000 inhabitants, with the national average being 0.83.
Frederiksberg's performance is not surprising as the municipality has previously stated its ambition to become Denmark’s Electric Car City No. 1. What is more, it has also announced its goal to have a charging point no more than 250 metres away from every building.
