Total charging capacity needs for different charging locations and technologies by 2030 in the Low and High scenarios
We begin by presenting the results of our assessment of charging needs in 2030. The infrastructure deployment in 2030, and the following subsection analyses charging needs at the EU Member State level. We conclude with a sensitivity analysis of some of the main assumptions used to quantify charging needs. uptake scenarios. This highlights the critical role of public chargers in enabling the electrification of the road freight sector in the EU. Overnight charging, including both public and private chargers, is expected to account for more than two-thirds of the total installed power needs: between 15 and 19 GW, depending on the BET market uptake scenario. Private chargers at depots will cover close to 7o% of the overnight chargers' total installed power needs, while public overnight chargers will cover 30%. Public overnight chargers are expected to mainly serve long-haul trucks that do not return to their depots daily. This is directly related to our assumptions concerning public and private overnight charging shares, which we further evaluate in the sensitivity analysis section. are estimated to be between 6.3 and 7.9 Gw. By 2030, they are projected to account for approximately 29% of total installed capacity, mainly serving long-haul trucks
