Denmark, Norway, and Luxembourg Lead the Way in EV Adoption
The 2024 HERE-SBD Electric Vehicle (EV) Index ranks Denmark as the top European country for electric vehicle adoption and support, followed by Norway and Luxembourg. This year’s report, developed by HERE Technologies and SBD Automotive, shows that total public charging power across 27 EU member states, Norway, Switzerland, and the UK has increased by 115% since 2023.
Germany’s EV Market Slows as UK Infrastructure Falls Behind
Germany, ranked 5th, continues to be a significant player in the EV market, though its growth has slowed due to reduced government incentives. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom is struggling to keep pace with European leaders in EV infrastructure, falling behind countries like Denmark and the Netherlands.
Key Findings from the 2024 EV Index
Top Countries for EV Adoption
- Denmark
- Norway
- Luxembourg
- Netherlands
- Germany
Denmark’s rise to the top is driven by strong government incentives, while Norway remains a global leader in EV adoption despite a slight decline in charger availability.
Challenges and Opportunities in EV Infrastructure
Germany’s slowdown in EV sales is offset by modest improvements in its charging infrastructure, while the UK faces growing challenges in developing its public charging network. As Europe pushes towards electrification, the need for a robust, reliable charging network is more critical than ever.
