Billions need to be invested in charging stations for electric trucks

According to the study, the development of charging infrastructure for electric trucks will cost almost 35 billion euros. Experts from the consulting firm PwC wrote in a study published on Monday that public investments in Europe would reach 6.1 billion euros by 2035 with the aim of establishing 720 charging parks and thus ensuring a nationwide infrastructure. Another 28.6 billion euros would be used by the logistics sector to build approximately 28,500 charging points in depots. When it comes to charging, the focus so far has been on public fast-charging parks, which are needed to cover a wide area, but whose capacity utilization fluctuates widely, PwC expert Philipp Rose said. "Therefore, the logistics sector should take the initiative in the future and invest more in charging stations in depots." Capacity utilization is easier to plan there, which helps keep costs under control. (More on marketscreener.com)
