In 2022, Volkswagen Group had placed more than one-third of the 45,000 EV chargers it plans to install by 2025, equating to approximately 15,000 EV chargers with charging capacities of up to 350 kW.
45,000 EV chargers in 2025
Geographically, the total of 45,000 EV charging stations will be divided as follows: 10,000 in North America, 18,000 in Europe, and 17,000 in China.
VW expects to have 10,000 EV chargers – or “high-power charging points” in corporate speak – online in Europe by the end of 2023, with 25,000 available worldwide by 2023.
