the largest number of charging stations was China: the share of China accounts for about 60% of the total number of chargers for electric vehicles in the world.
fast charging station, which, for example, Tesla uses account for around 30% of the total number of charging stations. To slow the IEA stations include stations with a capacity of 22 kW.

In the framework of the plan of economic incentives in Germany earlier this month pledged 500 million euros ($563 million) to support the deployment of private elektronaradim stations, of which there are 6.5 million.
