Number of EV charging stations in Czechia rose by a third last year to 1364

The number of charging stations for electric cars in Czechia rose by more than 30 percent last year. At the end of the year, the state recorded 1364 stations across a total of 1200 locations. This is according to statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MPO). Around 15,000 electric cars are currently registered in the Czech Republic, with tens of thousands more hybrids on the roads.

A year ago, the ministry’s register listed 944 charging stations. The vast majority had an output of up to 100 kilowatts. Hundreds were added across Czechia last year. In total, 1364 charging stations offered 2643 charging points for electric cars and plug-in hybrids.

Infrastructure for electric cars is expected to continue expanding. Transport Minister Martin Kupka (ODS) recently announced that Czechia will spend around six billion crowns on developing charging stations along motorways and in cities over the coming years. The funding will come from European funds.
