Population of e-vehicles of category M1 over time (for Austria)

While the number of battery electric vehicles rose moderately between 2010 and 2012

(approximately 1,400 in 2012), the number of electric vehicles has risen sharply since then,

including in July 2020. As of the end of July 2020, 46,470 electric vehicles were on the roads

of Austria, corresponding to a share of the total population of 0.92%.

The figure shows publicly available normal and fast charging points according to Directive

2014/94/EU. In total there are 3,055 normal charging points and 505 fast charging points

until the end of the second quarter of 2020. At this moment there are about 15 electric cars

(BEV and PHEV) on one NCP and about 88 on a FCP.

*Due to database adjustments, the number of charging points decreased since Q1/2019 and Q1/2020. This reduction was

only in the underlying database, effectively the charging points did not decrease.
