Up to 10.4 million public charging points could be installed across Europe by 2035 if car CO2 targets are strengthened in line with the EU’s Green Deal commitments, according to the modelling by Transport & Environment.

While very high numbers of public chargers might appear desirable, the vast majority of charging will continue to be at private chargers at home and work. The European car industry lobby wants 31 million public chargers by 2035, according to T&E’s analysis of its demands. This would lead to chargers being used less than one hour a day — far below the 3.6 hours needed to be financially viable according to the industry group’s own report².
MEPs and governments are currently deciding on an EU Commission proposal for car CO2 reduction targets in the 2020s and for all new cars sold in 2035 to be 100% zero-emissions.
The EU has a law stating all ev uses the ccs2 charging port. Even Tesla's sold in europe has the ccs2 combo port installed.
