Growth of recharging points (… - 2019)
Year-over-year growth in recharging infrastructure, based on the old counting methodology until 2019.
Distribution of recharging points, based on unrestricted and restricted accessibility
Unrestricted accessibility 24/7: Assigned when the locations can be accessed 24/7 by everyone.
Restricted accessibility: Assigned when the charging points are erected on private domain that are subject to specific, though non-discriminatory access restrictions, such as the usage of opening and closing hours as a requirement to use the associated facilities. For example, the recharging points in car parks of large warehouses or convenience stores, underground car parks, hotel and catering establishments, etc.
