A private survey found that the number of charging stations for EVs = electric vehicles in public facilities decreased for the first time last year.
There is a growing movement toward electrification of cars, but the challenge is how to expand the necessary infrastructure.
According to a survey by map production company Zenrin, the number of charging stations installed in places other than residential facilities such as public facilities and commercial facilities was 29,233 last year, a decrease of 1087 from the previous year. ..
Since 2010, when the survey was started, the number has been increasing, but it has decreased from the previous year for the first time.
This seems to be due to the fact that while the ratio of EVs to new cars is only about 1%, charging stations are not used much and the number of facilities that do not renew old equipment or stop installing it is increasing. I will.
The government has set a goal of turning all new vehicles into electric vehicles such as EVs and hybrid vehicles by 2035 toward a carbon-free society.
How to expand the charging stations is also an issue for further popularization, and it seems that new measures to support the installation in condominiums will be necessary.
