Percentage of highways that are covered by a fast or ultra-fast charger and/or petrol stations for selected road networks, 2024

Sources

IEA analysis based on US AFDC, EAFO and Eco-Movement. Existing and planned TEN-T highways roads were taken as depicted in TENtec viewer, other highways for Europe are taken from Esri filtered on attribute “Highway”. The Interstate highway network can be found on the National Highway System Map provided by the Federal Highway Administration. North American highways other than the interstate network are taken from the National Transportation Atlas Databases for the United States, whereas the highway system of Canada is taken from Transport Canada. Location of petrol stations was taken from Open Street Maps using amenity “fuel”; points within 150 metres of each other were considered as one petrol station.

Notes

TEN-T = Trans-European Transport Network. Chargers between 22 kW and 150 kW are classified as fast, and ultra-fast chargers are those of 150 kW or more. For regional groupings for the United States see Annex B. Only chargers within a radius of 150 metres of the highway are included; stations with less than 4 charging points are excluded. Coverage is calculated by setting a radius of 25 km around each charging point, so actual driving distance between two charging points likely exceeds 50 km based on the curvature of the road and the routing. To determine the number of stations on the bottom axis, all charging points within 500 metres of each other are considered as one station.
